class IPcell

Detailed Description

The oaPcellLink class implements the link between OpenAccess and an application-provided Pcell evaluator implemented though the IPcell interfaces. When the Pcell evaluator is provided in memory, the application must create the Pcell link using oaPcellLink::create() to register with OpenAccess. For a Pcell evaluator provided through a plug-in module, oaPcellLink::find() and oaPcellLink::getPcellDef() can be used to access the Pcell evaluator in the plug-in module.
