Skill code for identifying all paths in the design

sidm

HI All,

I need some help on skill program. Will be helpful if anyone can point me to something that can do the following :

1. Open the layout cell view

2. Query the cellview to iterate over all the shapes in the layout design and note all the shapes that are of type = Path or Pathseg

3. If the shape is of type = Path or Pathseg then get the pointlist corresponding to this shape.

any pointers will be great help.

thanks

    No, it doesn't handle hierarchy, because you didn't ask that (and it was a very rough untested piece of code that did exactly what you asked for in your earlier post). There are numerous examples on this forum of doing hierarchy traversal, so hopefully you can find those by using the search and adapting the code appropriately. You'll learn far more by doing that and experimenting than just me writing the code for you (which I don't have time to do at the moment, especially as I'm on vacation right now. Bear in mind that I respond in these forums during my spare time - it is not actually part of my job to answer here).
