Abstract
Disclosed herein is a method of determining an active region for a routing area having a plurality of component tiles positioned thereon. A set of stop points, each generally aligned with a lower edge of the routing area, an upper or lower edge of one of the component tiles, or an upper edge of the routing area, are determined. A component tile density interval is determined for a sweep line which corresponds to the lowermost stop point. The component tile density interval is then redetermined, in ascending order, for sweep lines generally aligned with each of the other stop points in the set. Along each sweep line, the component density is incremented by one for the horizontal span of a component tile for which the lower edge thereof extends therealong and decremented by one for the horizontal span of a component tile for which the upper edge thereof extends therealong.
