    In that case you can use either leCreateContact or dbCreateParamInst.

    cvId=geGetEditCellView()
    location=100:100
    leCreateContact(cvId "M2_M1" location "R0" 0.14 0.14 2 3 0.34 0.34 "center" "center")

    The 0.14 is the default "cut" size and the 0.34 is the default deltaX/deltaY on the create contact form; this will generate a 2x3 array.

    If you want to use dbCreateParamInst you can do that as follows:

    master=dbOpenCellViewByType("gpdk090" "M2_M1" "symbolic")
    dbCreateParamInst(cvId master "" location "R0" 1 list(list("row" 'int 2) list("column" 'int 3)))

    If you wanted to specify a non-default xPitch/yPitch/w/l then you'd have to include those parameters in the list passed, for example:

     dbCreateParamInst(cvId master "" location "R0" 1
        list(
          list("row" 'int 2)
          list("column" 'int 3)
          list("xPitch" 'float 0.8)
          list("w" 'float 0.2)
      )
    )
