    Hi Kamalesh,

I think you are referring to plane initialisation, where the initial four
tiles are the boundaries of the layout space.

The source code is probably not the best place to figure out corner
stitching.  You should get and read the set of papers on Magic published
in the ACM IEEE 21st/22nd Design Automation Conference.  These are
referenced in the Magic maintenance documentation (maint2.ps in the doc
subdirectory of the source code).
