displaying properties when mouse pointer is pointed on fig

ramya

Hi,

When a mouse pointer is on some instance  or metal layer, the instance name or layer name has to displayed in a window or in dialogue box.

 

can anyone suggest some ideas for this?

  •  Hi Ramya,

    css() is shorthand for car of selected set . I don't think that it is documented, so it would actually be better to use something like the following in your code:

        car(geGetSelectedSet())

    For interactive things in the CIW css() is probably fine, but I would use the longer form above in any code stored in files. If you run the above longer form through the SKILL Lint checker it will achieve a good score, or at least it will not reduce your score. However, since css() is not documented (probably, I haven't checked recently), it will reduce your overall score.  You want to aim to reach 100 or be as close as you can for the Lint score.

     For the second  question, here you cannot use css() or geGetSelectedSet() as they refer to the set of objects that are selected. You will want something that takes an input point and gives you the shapes underneath. Let me look into that and get back, it is likely that you will want to use dbGetOverlaps() or dbGetTrueOverlaps() but these are a little more complex.

    Regards,

    Lawrence.
