dbHierObj class

A dbHierObj is a helper class created in hierarchical searches using dbGetHierOverlaps(). It contains the object, the cellView that contains the object and the transformation of the object from the top level.

hierObj = dbHierObj(cellView *cv, dbObj *obj, transform trans);

Construct a dbHierObj with the cellView cv containing object obj and the transformation trans as seen from the top level.

bool dbHierObj::operator== (const dbHierObj & other)

true if the two dbHierObjs are equal.

operator != (const dbHierObj & other)

true if the two dbHierObjs are not equal.

bool operator < (const dbHierObj & other)

true if the dbHierObj is 'less than' the other. 'Less than' is a rather arbitrary comparison used for sorting. Objects are compared by type, layer, transformation and finally their pointlist.

dbObj *obj = hierObj.object()

Returns the dbObj associated with the dbHierObj.

transform trans = hierObj.transform()

Returns the transform of the dbHierObj.

int hierObj::layer()

Returns the layer of the object.

cellView *cv = hierObj.cv()

Returns the cellView that contains the object.
