create_rectangle_in_pad#

EDBPadstackInstance.create_rectangle_in_pad(layer_name, return_points=False, partition_max_order=16)[source]#

Create a rectangle inscribed inside a padstack instance pad.

The rectangle is fully inscribed in the pad and has the maximum area. It is necessary to specify the layer on which the rectangle will be created.

Parameters:

layer_namestr: Name of the layer on which to create the polygon.
return_pointsbool, optional: If True does not create the rectangle and just returns a list containing the rectangle vertices. Default is False.
partition_max_orderfloat, optional: Order of the lattice partition used to find the quasi-lattice polygon that approximates polygon. Default is 16.

Returns:

bool, List, pyaedt.edb_core.edb_data.primitives.EDBPrimitives: Polygon when successful, False when failed, list of list if return_points=True.

Examples

>>> from pyaedt import Edb
>>> edbapp = Edb("myaedbfolder", edbversion="2021.2")
>>> edb_layout = edbapp.modeler
>>> list_of_padstack_instances = list(edbapp.padstacks.instances.values())
>>> padstack_inst = list_of_padstack_instances[0]
>>> padstack_inst.create_rectangle_in_pad("TOP")
