how to make the variables and utilize the coordinates.

procedure( ExtractLayerDB(value)
prog( (run)
run = 1
while(run == 1
if(listp(value) == t then
value = cadr(value)
else
value
run = 0
);if
);while
return(value)
);prog
);procedureS

procedure( TransBBoxToPoint(bBox)
prog( (x1y1 x2y2 x1y2 x2y1)

x1y1 = nthelem(1 bBox)
x2y2 = nthelem(2 bBox)

x1 = xCoord(x1y1)
y1 = yCoord(x1y1)
x2 = xCoord(x2y2)
y2 = yCoord(x2y2)

x1y2 = (x1:y2)
x2y1 = (x2:y1)

point = list(x1y1 x1y2 x2y2 x2y1)

return(point)
);prog
);procedure

procedure( TransPointToBBox(point)
prog( (x1y1 x2y2 result)
x1y1 = nthelem(1 point)
x2y2 = nthelem(3 point)

result = list(x1y1 x2y2)

return(result)
);prog
);procedure

OK, your code just finds the gate shapes for N or P devices, but I suspect you want to find the actual PCell instances instead? You could process the polygons to try to compute the width and length (assuming they are rectangular, but you've lost the orientation information). Wouldn't traversing the hierarchy to find the instances of particular cells and then looking at their parameters be easier?

I guess it depends on what you're aiming to do with the results.

Thank you for reply!

I have difficulty in understanding your reply because my English skills are not good and i'm junior for my layout job...(2 years)

But, I am tring to understanding your reply by using Google Translater...!

as you think, i just finded the coordinates of gate shapes for N or P devices.

But, I didn't use PCell.

Because my company dont use pcell to shink chip size.

I made a De_cap Cell myself and placed it in layout cell view.

So, I just want to decide width and length by using x coordinates and y coordinates.

(width = gap of y coordinates, length = gap of x coordinates)

Of course, i will continue to develop my skill code with orientation !!

But it's too hard to use orientation information to me as junior.

Honestly, I didnt understand your reply " Wouldn't traversing the hierarchy to find the instances of particular cells"... sorry...

you say, do i need to use "dbGetTrueOverlaps"??

As a result, as junior, first step, i want to use coordinates of gate to count De_caps by size !!!

thank you for reading my post!

could you help me develop skill code to count de_caps by using coordinates??

Add these two functions:

;------------------------------------------------------------------------
; Convert a list of pointLists to a list of W and L
; values; W is the height, L is the length.
;------------------------------------------------------------------------
procedure( CCFpointListToWL(cv pointList)
  let((llx lly urx ury (DBUPerUU cv~>DBUPerUU))
    foreach(point pointList
      destructuringBind((x y) point
        llx=if(llx then min(llx x) else x)
        lly=if(lly then min(lly y) else y)
        urx=if(urx then max(urx x) else x)
        ury=if(ury then max(ury y) else y)
      )
    )
    ;--------------------------------------------------------------------
    ; Convert to database units, round and back to microns.
    ; This is because simply subtracting floating point
    ; numbers will give small floating point errors leading
    ; to tiny differences in otherwise identical dimensions.
    ; Converting to integer units will ensure uniformity of
    ; the widths and lengths
    ;--------------------------------------------------------------------
    list(
      round((ury-lly)*DBUPerUU)/DBUPerUU
      round((urx-llx)*DBUPerUU)/DBUPerUU
    )
  )
)

;------------------------------------------------------------------------
; Count each combination of w and l and then report
;------------------------------------------------------------------------
procedure( CCFcountAndReportWL(wlList)
  let(((wlTable makeTable('wlTable 0)))
    foreach(wl wlList
      wlTable[wl]=wlTable[wl]+1
    )
    foreach(wl wlTable
      destructuringBind((w l) wl
        printf("  width = %gum & length = %gum, multi = %d\n"
          w l wlTable[wl]
        )
      )
    )
    t
  )
)

Then use them as follows (at the end of your existing code):

p_channel_wl=foreach(mapcar pointList p_channel_point CCFpointListToWL(wcv pointList))
n_channel_wl=foreach(mapcar pointList n_channel_point CCFpointListToWL(wcv pointList))

printf("P Channel\n")
CCFcountAndReportWL(p_channel_wl)
printf("N Channel\n")
CCFcountAndReportWL(n_channel_wl)

You'll then get output in the CIW something like this:

P Channel
  width = 20um & length = 0.28um, multi = 44
  width = 1.2um & length = 0.28um, multi = 1
  width = 20um & length = 0.5um, multi = 48
  width = 6.755um & length = 7.2um, multi = 4
  width = 2.8um & length = 0.28um, multi = 1
N Channel
  width = 1.12um & length = 0.28um, multi = 1
  width = 1.2um & length = 0.28um, multi = 4
  width = 10um & length = 1um, multi = 14
  width = 3um & length = 0.28um, multi = 12

Andrew

Thank you! Andrew!!

I got a result that i want!!!

I'll try to analyze your code!!
