db command to get power pin co-ordinates for a given Macro

deeps

 Hi,

    I am trying to get the power pin co-ordinate details for a given Macro, 

        Is there a way by using db commands we can get the exact co-ordinate details of the power pins that are present on the Macro.I am using dbGet command to get the co-ordinate details of the macro location.

 

thanks

deepak.

     Very, VERY promising:

    encounter> time {dbTransform -d -localPt $cbox -inst $instPtr}
    104 microseconds per iteration

    encounter> time {eval "agConvertCellCoordsToInstCoords $cellPtr $instPtr $cbox"}
    810 microseconds per iteration

    I may have to do some coordinate rearranging to ensure I always get my data back as llx lly urx ury but that should be quick...

    proc dbTransform_and_legalize {cbox instPtr} {
      foreach {llx lly urx ury} [join [dbTransform -d -localPt $cbox -inst $instPtr]] {break}
      if {$urx < $llx} {
        set tmp $llx
        set llx $urx
        set urx $tmp
      }
      if {$ury < $lly} {
        set tmp $lly
        set lly $ury
        set ury $tmp
      }
      return [list $llx $lly $urx $ury]
    }

    dbTransform
    104 microseconds per iteration
    agConvertCellCoordsToInstCoords
    810 microseconds per iteration
    dbTransform_and_legalize
    155 microseconds per iteration

     50% overhead, ouch, still better than my in-house version.  I assume this can be used to convert inst coordinates to cell coordinates as well?  I'll play around with it some more.

    Thanks!
