PLL clocks

Hi

Is there an option to generate clock by PLL like as clock gate ?

for example : 

ref clock         = 128Mhz

output clock = 120Mhz 

waveform  :

Meaning , clock 120Mhz behave like 128Mhz but without 1 clock that missing

Hi,
the Stratix 10 design example uses PLL-reconfiguration to switch clocks on and off. That's quite different from the intended function.
As far as I see, PLL's have no features to manipulate waveforms on a cycle-by-cycle basis. The intended waveform can be however easily obtained with regular clock gating techniques in logic cells, as suggested in Quartus handbook:

Generating gated clocks in FPGA makes only sense if you want to feed external logic. Internally gated clocks should be converted into clock enables.
