Pyros Graphical PyCell IDE
Pyros® Graphical PyCell IDE is a full featured graphical editor and debugger that enables designers to visually edit, debug and explore PyCells. Pyros presents both code view and geometry view simultaneously, giving PyCell designers a modern, integrated development environment. Users can step through PyCell code while watching the geometry the code creates, and select geometry to highlight the code that created it. Users can change the parameters of a PyCell in Pyros and view the resulting layout changes. Pyros is also able to display any OpenAccess database, enabling users to select objects in the layout to examine associated parameters, status, layer/purpose and other data. Pyros also includes a built-in design rule checker that allows users to check the layout interactively.
Using Pyros, designers can:
- Edit & debug PyCell code
- Step through code to observe the geometry that code creates
- Trace geometry back to the code that created it
- Set breakpoints
- Query objects & examine design hierarchy
- Test advanced features including stretch handles and automatic abutment
- Edit PyCell parameters and view resulting layout
- Run interactive design rule checks

Pyros includes additional windowpanes for examining hierarchy, layer/purpose, parameters, DRC errors and more. Cross-probing between windowpanes allows users to select items in one window and view corresponding data highlighted in other windows and on the layout.Pyros gives authors all the graphical capabilities they need to design, debug and test PyCells in a production environment. Pyros is an integral part of PyCell Studio, a complete, stand-alone layout generator and PCell development environment for OpenAccess.
