====== Add Placement & Route Blockage to IO Cells ======
===== Scripts =====

<code tcl>
###  NOTE : WARNING
###
###  add_io_cover takes two arguments.  The first is the hard blockage distance
###  around the io.  The second is the amount the PG route guide is INSET from
###  that blockage -- a number picked to be slightly larger than half the standard
###  cell PG rail width.  The reason for the inset is to prevent a situation where
###  placement rows wind up without a PG rail.
###  d = blockage border [one row default], e is half M1 pwr rail width + margin
proc add_io_cover { d e } {
  set x 0
