Output Formats

Nearly-continuous list

This format is used to store lists that are almost always just a sequence of continuous numbers. It will always contain pairs that describe a continuous chain of numbers as a start and length.

For example this sequence:

[15, 3, 30, 4]

Describes 3 numbers starting from 15 and 4 numbers starting from 30:

[15, 16, 17, 30, 31, 32, 33]

See helpers.continuity_list() for the implementation.

Note

The scaffold generates continuous IDs, but this assumption does not hold true in many edge cases like manually placing cells, using custom placement strategies or after postprocessing the placed cells.
