<HR>
Generate wires from the command line.
<HR>
<H3>Shortcuts:</H3>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
Mouse buttons in conjunction with the <B>wire</B> tool implement
various <B>wire</B> commands (see the <B>tool</B> command
reference).
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<H3>Usage:</H3>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<B>wire</B> <I>option</I> <BR><BR>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
where <I>option</I> may be one of the following:
<DL>
<DT> <B>help</B>
<DD> Print help information
<DT> <B>horizontal</B>
<DD> Add a new horizontal wire leg
<DT> <B>leg</B>
<DD> Add a new horizontal or vertical leg
<DT> <B>switch</B> [<I>layer width</I>]
<DD> Place contact and switch layers
<DT> <B>type</B> [<I>layer width</I>]
<DD> Select the type and size of wires
<DT> <B>vertical</B>
<DD> add a new vertical wire leg
<DT> <B>segment</B> <I>layer width x1 y1 x2 y2</I>... [<B>-noendcap</B>]
<DD> Paint one or more wire segments
<DT> <B>show</B>
<DD> Determine where the next wire leg will be according to
the rules for <B>wire leg</B>, but place the result in
the selection buffer rather than directly on the layout.
<DT> <B>increment layer</B>
<DD> Change the layer type used for wires to the wire type on
the plane above the plane of the current wire type.
<DT> <B>decrement layer</B>
<DD> Change the layer type used for wires to the wire type on
the plane below the plane of the current wire type.
<DT> <B>increment width</B>
<DD> Increment the width of the current wire by 1 internal unit.
<DT> <B>decrement width</B>
<DD> Decrement the width of the current wire by 1 internal unit.
</DL>

<H3>Summary:</H3>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
The <B>wire</B> command allows quick generation of wires on the
layout. Some of these commands are bound to mouse button events
in the wire tool, making a convenient interface for fast wiring
where full netlist routing is not required. Due to the presence
of the wire tool, most of these commands are not typically called
from the command line. <P>
The <B>wire segment</B> command can generate non-Manhattan segments.
All other wiring commands generate only Manhattan routes. This
command places wire segments in relation to the <I>centerline</I>
coordinates specified by <I>x1 y1</I>, <I>x2 y2</I>, and so forth.
By default, wires are drawn with an endcap extension of one-half
the wire width. The <B>-noendcap</B> option causes the wire to
end at the coordinate, with no extension. The <B>wire segment</B>
command is intended to be used from Tcl scripts for automatic
layout generation.
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<H3>Implementation Notes:</H3>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<B>wire</B> is implemented as a built-in command in <B>magic</B>.
