Create label

Dear all,
I'm trying to create a label at a particular co-ordinate in layout
(cadence virtuoso).
Could you please suggest me which command i should use.
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
*(actually,I created pins using "leCreatePin"
leCreatePin( geGetEditCellView() list("M1_CAD" "TEXT") "rectangle" list
(0:0 10:10) "term1" "input" list("left" "right") )
But my Assura LVS tool doesn't understand that i have drawn a pin. And
if i create a label using GUI mode , it accepts the label as a pin.
Hence I'm trying to create pins in my layout using label)
Thanks and regards,

Hi,

Use dbCreateLable() to create labels:

1. You can give layer number and default purpose is drawing, like:

dbCreateLabel(cv 4 1:1 "myLabel" "centerLeft" "R0" "roman" 2)

This will creates a label in a particular cellview cv with specified
layer 4, purpose drawing (by default), origin 1:1, text myLabel,
justification centerLeft, orientation R0, font roman, and height 2.

2. You can also give a list of layer name and purpose, like this:

dbCreateLabel(cv list("metal1" "text_label") 1:1 "myLabel"
"centerLeft" "R0" "roman" 2)

This will creates a label in a particular cellview cv with specified
layer "metal1", purpose "text_label", origin 1:1, text myLabel,
justification centerLeft, orientation R0, font roman, and height 2.

3. Here's a sample test:

d_cellView=geGetEditCellView()
d_selSet = car( geGetSelSet( ) )
l_lpp = d_selSet~>lpp
n_x = xCoord( upperRight( d_selSet~>bBox ) )*0.5
n_y = yCoord( upperRight( d_selSet~>bBox ) )*0.5
t_label="This a sample test for labels"
t_just ="centerLeft"
t_orient = "R0"
t_font="roman"
x_height=5

dbCreateLabel(
d_cellView ;; your db item of cv
l_lpp ;; list of layer and purpose pair
n_x:n_y ;; location of the label
t_label ;; your text of the label
t_just ;; your value for justification
t_orient ;; your value for orientation
t_font ;; your value for font
x_height ;; your value for font size or hight
)
