kqcircuits.util.groundgrid

kqcircuits.util.groundgrid.insert_ground_grid(target_cell: Cell, target_layer: LayerInfo, grid_area: Box, protection: Region | RecursiveShapeIterator, grid_step: int, grid_size: int, grid_offset: int = 0)

Generates ground grid as shapes in a target cell, without cell hierarchy. This function uses integer database units for all inputs.

Parameters:

• target_cell – Cell to place the grid into

• target_layer – Layer to place the grid into

• grid_area – Area to fill with grid

• protection – Region to avoid when filling grid

• grid_step – distance between grid rectangles

• grid_size – size of grid rectangles

• grid_offset – Value between 0 (inclusive) and grid_step/grid_size (exclusive) to place grid rectangle. 0 (default) for bottom left of grid_step * grid_step tile, increasing integer value places rectangle further up and right. Ensures multiple grids don’t overlap.

kqcircuits.util.groundgrid.make_ground_grid_region(grid_area: Box, protection: Region | RecursiveShapeIterator, grid_step: int, grid_size: int, grid_offset: int = 0) → Region

Returns ground grid as a Region. This function uses integer database units for all inputs.

Note: insert_ground_grid is more efficient if the grid will be inserted into a cell.

Parameters:

• target_layer – Layer definition to place the grid into

• grid_area – Area to fill with grid

• protection – Region to avoid when filling grid

• grid_step – distance between grid rectangles

• grid_size – size of grid rectangles

• grid_offset – Value between 0 (inclusive) and grid_step/grid_size (exclusive) to place grid rectangle. 0 (default) for bottom left of grid_step * grid_step tile, increasing integer value places rectangle further up and right. Ensures multiple grids don’t overlap.

Returns: a Region containing the ground grid
