13. A system for checking or verifying shapes in an electronic design, comprising: a computer system including at least a sliced line module stored at least partially in memory and functioning in conjunction with one processor or processor core that executes a sequence of instructions to: identify or determine a dictionary for an electronic design; reduce, at the sliced line module, dimensionality of design data in a region at least by identifying or determining a first sliced line for the region in the electronic design, wherein the first sliced line includes one or more projected boundaries of the region; and check or verify the electronic design to flag one or more non-conforming shapes by using at least the first sliced line.

The system of claim 13 , wherein the computer system including at least one processor or processor core that further executes the sequence of instructions to: identify a shape; determine whether the shape corresponds to at least one track in multiple recognized or legal track patterns; and identify the track as a non-conforming shape when the shape is determined not to correspond to any tracks in the multiple recognized or legal track patterns.
