Help on using rodCreatePath

Renee

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.

  • I found where I was wrong.

    I built the subRectList the way you told me, but when it is referenced in the ?subRect argument, I wrote the code as below:

    ?subRect list(subRectList)

    not ?subRect subRectList

    I checked the ROD user guide, and found out that in this ?subRect argument, the format of list-of-lists is required, which is already realized within subRectList.

     Thus when I used list(subRectList), the form looked like list-of-list-of-lists. But I am confused this format caused fprintf/sprintf problem, or maybe it was just imcompatible the required format of "list-of-list".

    By the way, the debugging commands are really helpful.

    Thank you very much!
