what does "mapc" and "setof" do

[adhil1986]

im trying to understand these functions to implement them in my code... cdsfinder is vague as usual, please could you elaborate a way i could use them.

ps im trying to access instances within a given area of a bounding box... how can i do this using code, please provide a basic algorithm, im a noob, so please be easy on me

Just look in your cadence tree under doc/ for the folders starting with 'skl' in particular in your case use doc/sklangref/sklangref.pdf

setof extracts a subset of a list based on a logic expression satisfied by those elements,very useful, equivalent to a foreach plus if plus list construction
mapc... has been a while so you'll have to use the reference

For your specific problem you will have to look into layout and dfII skill, there are prebuilt functions verifying shape overlaps which automatically descend the hierarchy otherwise it would be painful...

are you sure this document is public domain? It is my understanding that EDA manufacturers do not like their manuals to be posted publicly...
