 | `[-spacing]` | Optional specification of the spacing between power/ground pairs within a single pitch (Default: pitch / 2). |
 | `[-starts_with]` | Specifies whether the first strap placed will be POWER or GROUND (Default: grid setting). This cannot be used with -followpins (Flip sites when initializing floorplan to change followpin power/ground order). |
 | `[-width]` | Value for the width of stripe. |
+| `-allow_out_of_core` | Allow stripes to continue beyond the core area. |
