MPLOT(1ICD)

NAME
mplot - make a plotfile for a masklayout

SYNOPSIS
mplot [-vte] [-o masklist] [-n masklist] cell

OPTIONS
Mplot understands the following options: verbose mode. plot terminals with a cross. process only the masks in masklist. Masklist is a comma- or blank-separated list of masknames. exclude the masks in masklist from processing. Assume the layout is already expanded, do not run the makeboxl and makegln preprocessors.

DESCRIPTION
Mplot is a program that creates a plotfile from a layout. This file may then be send to a plotter for obtaining hardcopy.

The plotfile contains a description of the contour (``outline'') of the layout geometry. Unlike preplot (1ICD), mplot also finds the contour of layout containing oblique geometry. It works on the "gln" representation of a cell.
