Libraries, Cells can be seen as directories. With the library as the "root" directory for a given project. In the examples used the in tutorial our library is named std_cells_hp05um, this library contains all the standard cells created on the HP .5 micron process. The Cells can be seen as a sub directory, one for each standard cell, in the tutorial the standard cell name is tutorial_and2_lp_4x. The View part of the library manager contains the actual "files". The standard cell has many different views and levels. For example, there is the symbol view of a standard cell, which is the symbol of an AND gate in the tutorial. Then there is the schematic view which is a transistor level view of the standard cell. To find out exactly what each view shows please see the glossary page.
