Abstract:
1. A computer implemented method for providing parameterized cells to a third party application, comprising: using a computer system which comprises at least one processor and is programmed for: determining whether a persistent parameterized cell includes desired parameterized cell information; storing the desired parameterized cell information of a parameterized cell in a file if the parameterized cell is persistently stored as the persistent parameterized cell, wherein the desired information of a plurality of sub-masters of the parameterized cell is stored in the file; evaluating the parameterized cell if the persistent parameterized cell is not available for retrieval; providing the parameterized cell that is evaluated to the third party application, wherein the third party application is not allowed to evaluate the parameterized cell if the persistent parameterized cell is not available for retrieval; and persistently storing the parameterized cell that is evaluated in a computer readable storage medium or a computer storage device for future retrieval.
