To find the empty area between the matched MOS

In several layout matching we  place the devices (nmos or pmos) in 1, 2 ,3,4,5 (rows)  etc and route through the empty space . so i would like to caluclate the empty area between the device through skill. layout is done in L editor with virtuoso 615 and we have many matched cells are in hierarchy level.

    Thanks for the code....also in my case  as I have shown in the previous attachment I  am interested in finding the area (the code which u have written is giving the  y distance between the instances whose x coordinate are same) It should also give the x distance and hence we can calculate the area between the divices.

    I don't understand how the "x distance" is determined. In your picture the orange box doesn't seem to have any obvious criteria (other than the y-spacing between the devices). Where does it start? Where does it end?

    Fundamentally, you can't write code to compute something if you don't have some kind of algorithm for determining what you want...

    Regards,

    Andrew.
