place_in_layout#

Stackup.place_in_layout(edb, angle=0.0, offset_x=0.0, offset_y=0.0, flipped_stackup=True, place_on_top=True)[source]#

Place current Cell into another cell using layer placement method. Flip the current layer stackup of a layout if requested. Transform parameters currently not supported.

Parameters:

edbEdb: Cell on which to place the current layout. If None the Cell will be applied on an empty new Cell.
angledouble, optional: The rotation angle applied on the design.
offset_xdouble, optional: The x offset value.
offset_ydouble, optional: The y offset value.
flipped_stackupbool, optional: Either if the current layout is inverted. If True and place_on_top is True the stackup will be flipped before the merge.
place_on_topbool, optional: Either if place the current layout on Top or Bottom of destination Layout.

Returns:

bool: True when succeed False if not.
