Handy procedures for creating designs from programs. Abuts, Conditional instances...

Object class which consists of code (Generators); will be regenerated whenever some constituent does change. Useful to debug program generated designs.

Start: CDDynamicObs.load

Creation of dynamic generator environment: <space-U> menu and select create dynamic generator.

Handy procedures for creating designs with lazy programs. Lazy programs might simply build objects without including them into the designs directory, but call CleanUp before the design is handed to any other usage. (I'm not sure if I will maintain this, but I certainly will keep the source)

Start: Not necessary, CDCleanUp is resident with ChipNDale

Interactive call: "check directory" in the special commands pop up menu. Programs generating layout the lazy way are supposed to call the clean up procedure and must NOT rely on interactive calls, except for debugging.

Hierarchical extraction of properties

Start: CDPropertyExtraction.load

Use program menu.

Set up of colors

Start: CDColors.load

Feedback module from Mike for Spinifexes Rosemary output. Not maintained by Christian.

Some coordinate system transformations.

Implementing client origin for certain object classes. Useful for object class implementors.

A module which allows easy implementation of bottom up calls which cache the results.

Each independent call creates a new invocation key. Results which are created with the same invocation key are allways trusted and taken from the cache. Results with a different invocation key are re-used if all the subcells haven't changed
