Help on using rodCreatePath

Renee
Renee over 15 years ago

In the rodCreatePath function, it contains subrectangle arguments. I tried to write a program to make a path with variable-number of subrectangles shown as below:

?subRect list(

 for(i 0 cnt_num-1
list(
?layer buildCnts_info->layer3
?width buildCnts_info->width3
?length          buildCnts_info->length3
?endOffset       buildCnts_info->offset
?sep  buildCnts_info->sep+(buildCnts_info->width3)*i
?justification  "center"
?space  buildCnts_info->sp
) ; end list
);end for

) ;end of subRect lists

But when I run the procedure ,there is always error "The last argument of subrectangle can only be a list".

 I don't know how to solve this problem, or maybe I should try to use rodCreateRect instead.

 I'd really appreciated if someone could help me on this problem.

    The return value of the for loop is t. Thus, it is as if you are passing the following to subRect:

    ?subRect list( t)

    You will need to build your list of subRectangles prior to calling the rodCreatePath routine:

    subRectList = nil
    for(i 0 cnt_num-1
      subRectList = cons(list(?layer ...?space...) subRectList)
    )

    ?subRect subRectList
