NAME

makesize - resizes the mask gln representations of a cell

SYNOPSIS

makesize [-vc] [-E file] [-m maxmem] cell [...]

OPTIONS

-v

verbose mode.

-c

do not compress the temporary files (less cpu time, more disk space).

-Efile

use file as the element definition file (default space.def.t in the ICD process library).

-mmaxmem

use maxmem (default 1) MByte of main memory for sorting of gln edges.

DESCRIPTION

Makesize resizes the mask gln descriptions of a cell according to as specified by the "resize" statements in the element definition file. Mask gln descriptions of the layout of a cell are used as input for the programs space (1ICD), mplot (1ICD) and getepslay (1ICD). Makesize is typically called by the program space (1ICD) as a preprocessor.

In order to sort the output, makesize uses a directory where it stores temporary data. The default directory for this is selected from the list of directories /tmp and /usr/tmp, whichever has more space available. Using the environment variable SPACE_TMPDIR it is possible to specify an alternative list of directories, separated by the character ':' (e.g. /tmp:/usr/tmp:/user/john/tmp).

LIMITATIONS

The current version of makesize can only handle 45-degree layout.
