Sending SKILL commands to a running instance of ICFB

gsimard

Hi all !

 

 I was wondering if it would be possible to send SKILL instructions to a running instance of ICFB, just as if I was typing them in the console of the ICFB, but from an external process. The idea is to use my favorite editor (emacs) and being able to interact with the ICFB process (sending code, retrieving replies, in the best scenario).

 

Thank you for any advice !

    Here is the work around that work wery well on the first tests:

     #!/usr/bin/perl

    # load("test.il")

    #Flushes the perl STDOUT buffer after each print:
    $|=1;

    print "cv=deGetEditCellView() ";
    print "cw=hiGetCurrentWindow() ";
    print "geDeleteAllHilightSet(cv) ";
    print "hiZoomIn(cw list(-10:-10 10:10)) ";
    print "hlSetId = geCreateHilightSet(cv \'(\"y1\" \"drawing\")) ";
    print "hlSetId->enable = t ";

    #Draws a disk with thousands of rays.
    #The Skill commands are buffered to a unix temp file. The temp file is
    #then loaded in dfII with a "load" command.
    $output="test_cmd.il";
    open(TMPFILE, ">$output") || die ("*** Error: Can't open $output !\n\n");
    for ($j = 1; $j <= 3.141*2000; $j++) {
      $x2=10*cos($j/1000);
      $y2=10*sin($j/1000);
      print TMPFILE "geAddHilightLine(hlSetId list(0:0 $x2:$y2)) \n";
    }
    close(TMPFILE) || die "Can't close $output !";

    print "load(\"test_cmd.il\") ";
    print "hiRedraw(cw) ";

    Best regards.
    Stéphane.
