API reference - Class EdgePairs

Notation used in Ruby API documentation

Module: db

Description: EdgePairs (a collection of edge pairs)

Class hierarchy: EdgePairs » ShapeCollection

Edge pairs are used mainly in the context of the DRC functions (width_check, space_check etc.) of Region and Edges. A single edge pair represents two edges participating in a DRC violation. In the two-layer checks (inside, overlap) The first edge represents an edge from the first layer and the second edge an edge from the second layer. For single-layer checks (width, space) the order of the edges is arbitrary.

This class has been introduced in version 0.23.

Detailed description

+

Signature: [const] EdgePairs + (const EdgePairs other)

Description: Returns the combined edge pair collection of self and the other one

Returns:The resulting edge pair collection

This operator adds the edge pairs of the other collection to self and returns a new combined set.

This method has been introduced in version 0.24. The 'join' alias has been introduced in version 0.28.12.

+=

Signature: EdgePairs += (const EdgePairs other)

Description: Adds the edge pairs of the other edge pair collection to self

Returns:The edge pair collection after modification (self)

This operator adds the edge pairs of the other collection to self.

This method has been introduced in version 0.24.

Note that in Ruby, the '+=' operator actually does not exist, but is emulated by '+' followed by an assignment. This is less efficient than the in-place operation, so it is recommended to use 'join_with' instead.

The 'join_with' alias has been introduced in version 0.28.12.

[]

Signature: [const] const EdgePair ptr [] (unsigned long n)

Description: Returns the nth edge pair

This method returns nil if the index is out of range. It is available for flat edge pairs only - i.e. those for which has_valid_edge_pairs? is true. Use flatten to explicitly flatten an edge pair collection.

The each iterator is the more general approach to access the edge pairs.

_create

Signature: void _create

Description: Ensures the C++ object is created

Use this method to ensure the C++ object is created, for example to ensure that resources are allocated. Usually C++ objects are created on demand and not necessarily when the script object is created.

_destroy

Signature: void _destroy

Description: Explicitly destroys the object

Explicitly destroys the object on C++ side if it was owned by the script interpreter. Subsequent access to this object will throw an exception. If the object is not owned by the script, this method will do nothing.

_destroyed?

Signature: [const] bool _destroyed?

Description: Returns a value indicating whether the object was already destroyed

This method returns true, if the object was destroyed, either explicitly or by the C++ side. The latter may happen, if the object is owned by a C++ object which got destroyed itself.

_is_const_object?

Signature: [const] bool _is_const_object?

Description: Returns a value indicating whether the reference is a const reference

This method returns true, if self is a const reference. In that case, only const methods may be called on self.

_manage

Signature: void _manage

Description: Marks the object as managed by the script side.

After calling this method on an object, the script side will be responsible for the management of the object. This method may be called if an object is returned from a C++ function and the object is known not to be owned by any C++ instance. If necessary, the script side may delete the object if the script's reference is no longer required.

Usually it's not required to call this method. It has been introduced in version 0.24.

_unmanage

Signature: void _unmanage

Description: Marks the object as no longer owned by the script side.

Calling this method will make this object no longer owned by the script's memory management. Instead, the object must be managed in some other way. Usually this method may be called if it is known that some C++ object holds and manages this object. Technically speaking, this method will turn the script's reference into a weak reference. After the script engine decides to delete the reference, the object itself will still exist. If the object is not managed otherwise, memory leaks will occur.

Usually it's not required to call this method. It has been introduced in version 0.24.

assign

Signature: void assign (const EdgePairs other)

Description: Assigns another object to self

bbox

Signature: [const] Box bbox

Description: Return the bounding box of the edge pair collection

The bounding box is the box enclosing all points of all edge pairs.

clear

Signature: void clear

Description: Clears the edge pair collection

count

Signature: [const] unsigned long count

Description: Returns the (flat) number of edge pairs in the edge pair collection

The count is computed 'as if flat', i.e. edge pairs inside a cell are multiplied by the number of times a cell is instantiated.

Starting with version 0.27, the method is called 'count' for consistency with Region. 'size' is still provided as an alias.

Python specific notes:
This method is also available as 'len(object)'.

create

Signature: void create

Description: Ensures the C++ object is created

Use of this method is deprecated. Use _create instead

Use this method to ensure the C++ object is created, for example to ensure that resources are allocated. Usually C++ objects are created on demand and not necessarily when the script object is created.

data_id

Signature: [const] unsigned long data_id

Description: Returns the data ID (a unique identifier for the underlying data storage)

This method has been added in version 0.26.

destroy

Signature: void destroy

Description: Explicitly destroys the object

Use of this method is deprecated. Use _destroy instead

Explicitly destroys the object on C++ side if it was owned by the script interpreter. Subsequent access to this object will throw an exception. If the object is not owned by the script, this method will do nothing.

destroyed?

Signature: [const] bool destroyed?

Description: Returns a value indicating whether the object was already destroyed

Use of this method is deprecated. Use _destroyed? instead

This method returns true, if the object was destroyed, either explicitly or by the C++ side. The latter may happen, if the object is owned by a C++ object which got destroyed itself.

enable_progress

Signature: void enable_progress (string label)

Description: Enable progress reporting

with_angle

(1) Signature: [const] EdgePairs with_angle (double angle, bool inverse)

Description: Filter the edge pairs by orientation of their edges

Filters the edge pairs in the edge pair collection by orientation. If "inverse" is false, only edge pairs with at least one edge having the given angle to the x-axis are returned. If "inverse" is true, edge pairs not fulfilling this criterion are returned.

This will filter edge pairs with at least one horizontal edge:

horizontal = edge_pairs.with_angle(0, false)

Note that the inverse result of with_angle is delivered by with_angle_both with the inverse flag set as edge pairs are unselected when both edges fail to meet the criterion. I.e

result = edge_pairs.with_angle(0, false)
others = edge_pairs.with_angle_both(0, true)

This method has been added in version 0.27.1.

(2) Signature: [const] EdgePairs with_angle (double min_angle, double max_angle, bool inverse, bool include_min_angle = true, bool include_max_angle = false)

Description: Filter the edge pairs by orientation of their edges

Filters the edge pairs in the edge pair collection by orientation. If "inverse" is false, only edge pairs with at least one edge having an angle between min_angle and max_angle are returned. If "inverse" is true, edge pairs not fulfilling this criterion are returned.

With "include_min_angle" set to true (the default), the minimum angle is included in the criterion while with false, the minimum angle itself is not included. Same for "include_max_angle" where the default is false, meaning the maximum angle is not included in the range.

Note that the inverse result of with_angle is delivered by with_angle_both with the inverse flag set as edge pairs are unselected when both edges fail to meet the criterion. I.e

result = edge_pairs.with_angle(0, 45, false)
others = edge_pairs.with_angle_both(0, 45, true)

This method has been added in version 0.27.1.

(3) Signature: [const] EdgePairs with_angle (Edges::EdgeType type, bool inverse)

Description: Filter the edge pairs by orientation of their edges

Filters the edge pairs in the edge pair collection by orientation. If "inverse" is false, only edge pairs with at least one edge having an angle of the given type are returned. If "inverse" is true, edge pairs not fulfilling this criterion are returned.

This version allows specifying an edge type instead of an angle. Edge types include multiple distinct orientations and are specified using one of the Edges#OrthoEdges, Edges#DiagonalEdges or Edges#OrthoDiagonalEdges types.

Note that the inverse result of with_angle is delivered by with_angle_both with the inverse flag set as edge pairs are unselected when both edges fail to meet the criterion. I.e

result = edge_pairs.with_angle(RBA::Edges::Ortho, false)
others = edge_pairs.with_angle_both(RBA::Edges::Ortho, true)

This method has been added in version 0.28.

with_angle_both

(1) Signature: [const] EdgePairs with_angle_both (double angle, bool inverse)

Description: Filter the edge pairs by orientation of both of their edges

Filters the edge pairs in the edge pair collection by orientation. If "inverse" is false, only edge pairs with both edges having the given angle to the x-axis are returned. If "inverse" is true, edge pairs not fulfilling this criterion are returned.

This will filter edge pairs with at least one horizontal edge:

horizontal = edge_pairs.with_angle_both(0, false)

Note that the inverse result of with_angle_both is delivered by with_angle with the inverse flag set as edge pairs are unselected when one edge fails to meet the criterion. I.e

result = edge_pairs.with_angle_both(0, false)
others = edge_pairs.with_angle(0, true)

This method has been added in version 0.27.1.

(2) Signature: [const] EdgePairs with_angle_both (double min_angle, double max_angle, bool inverse, bool include_min_angle = true, bool include_max_angle = false)

Description: Filter the edge pairs by orientation of both of their edges

Filters the edge pairs in the edge pair collection by orientation. If "inverse" is false, only edge pairs with both edges having an angle between min_angle and max_angle are returned. If "inverse" is true, edge pairs not fulfilling this criterion are returned.

With "include_min_angle" set to true (the default), the minimum angle is included in the criterion while with false, the minimum angle itself is not included. Same for "include_max_angle" where the default is false, meaning the maximum angle is not included in the range.

Note that the inverse result of with_angle_both is delivered by with_angle with the inverse flag set as edge pairs are unselected when one edge fails to meet the criterion. I.e

result = edge_pairs.with_angle_both(0, 45, false)
others = edge_pairs.with_angle(0, 45, true)

This method has been added in version 0.27.1.

(3) Signature: [const] EdgePairs with_angle_both (Edges::EdgeType type, bool inverse)

Description: Filter the edge pairs by orientation of their edges

Filters the edge pairs in the edge pair collection by orientation. If "inverse" is false, only edge pairs with both edges having an angle of the given type are returned. If "inverse" is true, edge pairs not fulfilling this criterion for both edges are returned.

This version allows specifying an edge type instead of an angle. Edge types include multiple distinct orientations and are specified using one of the Edges#OrthoEdges, Edges#DiagonalEdges or Edges#OrthoDiagonalEdges types.

Note that the inverse result of with_angle_both is delivered by with_angle with the inverse flag set as edge pairs are unselected when one edge fails to meet the criterion. I.e

result = edge_pairs.with_angle_both(RBA::Edges::Ortho, false)
others = edge_pairs.with_angle(RBA::Edges::Ortho, true)

This method has been added in version 0.28.
