====== Add Macro Placement & Route Blockage ======

===== Scripts =====

<code tcl>
###  NOTE : WARNING
###
###  add_macro_cover takes two arguments.  The first is the hard blockage distance
###  around the macro.  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_macro_cover { d e } {
  set x 0
  foreach_in_collection c [get_cells -hier -filter "is_hard_macro==true"] {
    set coord [get_attribute $c bbox]
    set low_x [expr [lindex [lindex $coord 0] 0] - $d]
    set low_y [expr [lindex [lindex $coord 0] 1] - $d]
    set high_x [expr [lindex [lindex $coord 1] 0] + $d]
    set high_y [expr [lindex [lindex $coord 1] 1] + $d]
