Abstract: PW offers a layer on top of ChipNDale in order to facilitate layout generation. It is the result of a long evolution from Louis Monier's PatchWork (cf OldPatchWorkDoc.tioga). PW also contains a tiny demo of ChipNDale and of the package.

Making a Demo
PW contains a packaged demo that used to be, in June 86, a flashing demo about the ChipNDale graphic editor, the PatchWork generator system and the Onion router. Onion died, so what is left is less flashy, but still OK for people not in the field ...
To start the demo, just start PWDemo.cm, and avoid displaying pins on PWDemoLayout.
Structure of the Package
For now, there is a single interface, PW.
Interface Documentation
This section contains documentation which should be folded into the interfaces someday.
Test of the package [for maintainers only]
TestPW.cm prepares an environment in which maintainers only have to try the interactive generation commands.
