NAME
makegln - create a gln representation of a layout

SYNOPSIS
makegln [-v] [-o masklist] [-n masklist] [cell ...]

OPTIONS
verbose mode. process only the masks in masklist. Masklist is a comma- or blank-separated list of masknames. exclude the masks in masklist from processing.

DESCRIPTION
Makegln creates a non-vertical line segment representation (gln representation) of the layout of the specified cells. If no cells are specified, it processes the cells named in the exp_dat file. Makegln can be run directly, but can also be invoked by exp (1ICD) through the ``-g'' option.

Currently, a gln representation is used by space (1ICD) and mplot (1ICD).

The input of makegln is a set of nxx and bxx files as produced by makeboxl (1ICD) or makeboxh (1ICD).

LIMITATIONS
The current version of makegln can only handle 45-degree layout.
