Abstract
A method generates information for a window view of an integrated circuit from layout-formatted data such as GDSII formatted data. The method includes generating outer boundary boxes for structures of the integrated circuit from the layout-formatted data, generating a build file by including information of structures having outer boundary boxes completely or partially in a window, and generating information of the window view from the information thus included in the build file. In generating the build file, information of structures having outer boundary boxes completely outside the window are excluded from the build file. Also excluded is information of structures having areas less than a threshold value.
