Drawing circles in Virtuoso

archive
archive over 17 years ago

    Simple question. How do you draw circles in Virtuoso?

If it's not possible does anyone know of a skill files that can be used to create a polygon with many vertices such that it's almost a perfect circle?

Many thanks,

James

    dbCreateEllipse( geGetWindowCellView() "metal1" list( -2:-2 2:2 ))

    Pass the list the two ends of the diameter of a circle as shown above.

    Thanks RR for your response.

    So I just type the above command into the CIW?

    I've tried so and get the following error:

    "Syntax error encountered in input".

    Also could you please explain what "pass the lost the two ends of the diameter of a circle" precisely means?

    Thanks,

    James
