SYNOPSIS

pitch (key, cell)
char *key;

PARAMETERS
is a character string with one of the following values:
    Determine the x-pitch from the terminals of the cell. Give a warning if the pitch can't be determined, i.e. because the cell don't has terminals. The size (bounding box) of the cell in the x-direction is returned. Try to determine the pitch of the cell from its terminals, but if this isn't possible, return the size of the cell. Same as xt, but for the y-direction. Same as xs, but for the y-direction. Same as x, but for the y-direction.
is a character string specifying the name of the cell for which the pitch has to be found.

DESCRIPTION
Pitch will return the x- or y-pitch of the named cell, as specified by key. If the pitch is determined by looking at the terminals of the cell, then the largest distance found between the outer-edges of all pairs of opposite terminals is computed and returned.
