Need a Skill code to get a list of elements under a plygonal shape.

I am looking for a comand in skill to get the list of elements under a polygonal shape.

There is a command

 

dbgetTrueOverlaps(
d_cellView
l_bBox
)

 here the output of this command is a list of elements. But this command only takes the input as a list of two points.

 I want to give a list of more number of points as input to the code and the output it will return a list of elements under the polygon formed by the list of input points.

If anybody knows how to get it done please repply.

Regards,

Amit

    enterPolygon code is working fine. I solve that problem some other way. now can u plz explain me how this code is working. How that "done" "pts" and "w" is initialized .this is the code given as an example in the documentation but I didn't find any explanation. For my last question that how do I get the dbid of last placed object in the layout. I have done it. its working fine but I am not sure It is working by chance or it is the right code. What I have done 1.deselect all element 2.select all element 3. then car(geGetselset) will return the last placed object's dbid. is it correct for all the time. the first point of deselecting all the element is because I found that if any object is selected then it will return that object's dbid as the output of car(geGetselSet()) If you have any other code to do it, plz tell me.
