photonforge.parametric.route_manhattan(*, terminal1=None, terminal2=None, direction1=None, direction2=None, layer=None, width=None, overlap_fraction=None, join_limit=None, waypoints=None, technology=None, name=None)

Create a Manhattan path connecting 2 terminals.

Parameters:

  • terminal1 (Terminal | tuple[Reference, str] | tuple[Reference, str, int]) – First terminal to be connected. The terminal can be specified as a photonforge.Terminal or as a tuple including a photonforge.Reference, the terminal name, and the repetition index (optional, only for array references).

  • terminal2 (Terminal | tuple[Reference, str] | tuple[Reference, str, int]) – Second terminal to be connected.

  • direction1 (Literal['', 'x', 'y']) – Direction (“”, “x”, or “y”) of the route at the first terminal.

  • direction2 (Literal['', 'x', 'y']) – Direction (“”, “x”, or “y”) of the route at the second terminal.

  • layer (tuple[int]) – Layer used for the connection. If None, the routing layer of the first terminal is used.

  • width (float) – Width of the routing path. If None, the width is derived from the bounding box of the first terminal.

  • overlap_fraction (float | tuple[float]) – Fraction of the terminal bounding box that the route overlaps. If None, defaults to 1.

  • join_limit (float) – Join limit used by photonforge.Path.segment(). If None defaults to -1.

  • waypoints (Sequence) – Sequence of coordinates the route should go through.

  • technology (Technology) – Component technology. If None, the default technology is used.

  • name (str) – Component name.

Returns:

Component with the route.
