Abstract
Disclosed are methods, systems, and articles of manufacture for assigning track patterns to regions of an electronic design in one or more embodiments. One aspect tessellates an area on a layer of an electronic design that is subject to one or more track pattern requirements and dynamically maintains the tessellation structure from the tessellation process for early stages of the design process such as floorplanning, placement, or routing. Another aspect identifies or creates multiple strips or multiple regions for an area on a layer of an electronic design and assigns or associates a track pattern or a track pattern group to each of the multiple strips or multiple regions. In this latter aspect, a track pattern or a track pattern group is no longer required to apply to the entire layer.
