Dynamic arrays

Adhil

Hi!!

I am trying to create a dynamic array. please test out the folowing code. it works fine, but the handle that varies the columns is not very sensitive. how can i solve this problem?


pcDefinePCell(
  list(ddGetObj("adhillib") "rect1" "layout")
  (
   (Width  0.1)
   (Length 0.2)
  )
  let(((cv pcCellView))
   rectRodObj = rodCreateRect(
                             ?name     "myRect"
                             ?cvId     cv
                             ?layer    list("M1" "drawing")
                             ?width    Width
                             ?length   Length
                             ?origin   list(0 0)
        )
                     
  )

   )

pcDefinePCell(
  list(ddGetObj("adhillib") "rectarray1" "layout")
  (
   (columns 1)
   (space 0.2)
  )
  let(((cv pcCellView) (width1 0.1) width2 (length1 0.2) cellview rectRodObj rectRodObj1)
                       
   mosaicbBox = dbCreateParamSimpleMosaicByMasterName(cv "adhillib" "rect1" "layout"
                                                              "rect_array" 0:0 "R0" 1 columns 0.2 space list(list("Width" "float" width1) list("Length" "float" length1))  )
                        cellview = dbOpenCellViewByType("adhillib" "rect1" "layout")
                 bBox     = dbComputeBBoxNoNLP(cellview)
                 width2   = xCoord(upperRight(bBox)) - xCoord(lowerLeft(bBox))
                 columnbBoxWidth  = xCoord(upperRight(mosaicbBox ~> bBox)) - xCoord(lowerLeft(mosaicbBox ~> bBox))
                        columnbBoxLength = yCoord(upperRight(mosaicbBox ~> bBox)) - yCoord(lowerLeft(mosaicbBox ~> bBox))


                        rectRodObj = rodCreateRect(
                             ?name     "myRect10"
                             ?cvId     cv
                             ?layer    list("ALPHA" "drawing")
                             ?width    space - width1
                             ?length   length1
                             ?origin   list(width2 0)
        )

                        rectRodObj1 = rodCreateRect(
                             ?name     "myRect11"
                             ?cvId     cv
                             ?layer    list("ALPHA" "drawing")
                             ?width    columnbBoxWidth
                             ?length   columnbBoxLength
                             ?origin   list(0 0)
        )

                        rodAssignHandleToParameter(
                             ?parameter          "space"
                             ?rodObj             rectRodObj
                             ?handleName         "centerRight"
                             ?stretchDir         "X"
                             ?displayName        "space"
                             ?displayExpression  "space"
                             ?updateIncrement    0.1
                             ); rodAssignHandleToParameter

                       rodAssignHandleToParameter(
                             ?parameter          "columns"
                             ?rodObj             rectRodObj1
                             ?handleName         "centerRight"
                             ?stretchDir         "X"
                             ?displayName        "columns"
                             ?displayExpression  "columns"
                             ?updateIncrement    space
                             ); rodAssignHandleToParameter
              

     )
      )

    The problem is that it's stretching it as a dimension, and so it only updates if you move the cursor by 1um (i.e. 1). So, change the default value of columns to be a floating point number (1.0) in the list of parameters in the pcDefinePCell call, and then change the rodAssignHandleToParameter to be:

     pcDefinePCell(
      list(ddGetObj("opamp090") "rectarray1" "layout")
      (
       (columns 1.0)   ; note change in default
      (space 0.2)
      )

    ...

                           rodAssignHandleToParameter(
                                 ?parameter          "columns"
                                 ?rodObj             rectRodObj1
                                 ?handleName         "centerRight"
                                 ?stretchDir         "X"
                                 ?displayName        "columns"
                                 ?displayExpression  "columns"
                                 ?updateIncrement    space
                                 ?userData           space
                                 ?userFunction
                                   lambda((struct)
                                        ; printf("STRUCT: %L\n" struct->??)
                                        round(struct->paramVal+struct->increment/struct->userData)
                                     )
                                 ); rodAssignHandleToParameter

    Something like that anyway!
