Abstract :
The corner-stitching technique proposed by J.K. Ousterhout (1984) is extended for rectangular objects in interactive VLSI layout editors to L-shaped objects, thus providing added flexibility in the design of VLSI circuits. It is shown theoretically that the authors´ method for handling L-shaped objects is more space-efficient than an alternative method based on a direct application of the original corner-stitching method
