First example

A logic design shown in transparent colors for better layer visibility:

Building a layer hierarchy allows to group layers into functional groups. Renaming of layers simplifies interpretation of the content:

Layer groups allow to change functionally connected layers as single entities:

The "descend" function dives into the hierarchy showing a cell in it's context:

Layer views can be assigned additional transformations, i.e. an arbitrary rotation. Using a group allows to apply a single transformation to a set of layers which effectively transforms the whole layout:

Multiple transformations can be specified on a layer view (or a group node) as well. Here, four transformations are specified which renders a regular arrangement:

Various kind of rulers are provided:

Boolean layer operations are provided, i.e. an AND operation to select the gate areas (ACTIVE AND POLY):

An instance browser allows to browse through all instances of a cell:

A shape browser allows to browse through all shapes of a layer:

The clip utility clips out a rectangular region of a layout in a hierarchical fashion:

Second example

The test layout shows a various shape variants:

This is the first level of hierarchy of the test layout:

Images

This example shows how images can be used as background for the layout and how image display can be controlled. In this case, a false color display is used to map grey values to colors.

Marker Browser
