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.

    Thanks Derek.

     I added subRectList to my procedure, but there are some errors and a warning.

    *WARNING* Cancelling function, exceeds nestability limit of 5. (It is werid that when I re-run the procedure without editting my program, this warning disappeared. What does this warning mean?)

    *Error* fprintf/sprintf : format spec. incompatible with data ((?layer "Contact" ?width 0.36 ?length...) (?layer "Contact" ?width 0.36 ?length...)

    Does this error indicate that I misused the  fprintf/sprintf  functions? Indeed, I printed some results to test the program, but I've already comment them out with semicolon after this print error, however, this action did not solve the problem.

    *Error* load, error while loading file -"*loadstring"

    "loadstring"? what doed this variable mean?

    Many thanks in advance.
