Programmatically get type of cellview

CClauson

Hello,

I'm just starting out with SKILL, and the task that I'm trying to accomplish is given a cellview, to get the type of the view (i.e., schematic, netlist, symbol, etc).  I've been looking through skdref.pdf, and I've gotten to where I know how to access properties and traverse the design hierarchy, as demonstrated by the following code fragment to print the entire hierarchy:

 foreach( lib ddGetLibList()
    printf("%s\n" lib~>name)
    foreach( cell ddGetObjChildren(lib)
        printf("\t%s\n" cell~>name)
        foreach( view ddGetObjChildren(cell)
            printf("\t\t%s\n" view~>name)
        )
    )
)

However, I can't figure out how to get the type of the view.  Is there any function to do that?

Thanks in advance for any help.

 

  •  Hi CClauson,

    what about the following code, instead of using ddGetObjChildren:

    foreach( lib ddGetLibList()
        printf("%s\n" lib~>name)
        foreach( cell lib~>cells
            printf("\t%s\n" cell~>name)
            foreach( view cell~>views
                printf("\t\t%s\n" view~>name)
            )
        )
    )

    regards

    Stefan

     

    Hi CClauson,
    just found your code generates the same output as mine, so this
    isn't really an enhancement ;-)

    What do you expect from the view-type?
    The type of a view will always be ddViewType, you can get it
    from view~>type or by calling ddGetObjType(view)

  • To get the view type, use this (in your inner loop):

    master=ddGetObj(lib~>name cell~>name view~>name "*")
    viewType=ddGetFileViewType(master)

    Regards,

    Andrew.

  • Thanks for the replies!

    I tried this, but I got the error message:

     *Error* eval: undefined function - ddGetFileViewType

     I actually came up with a different way of doing what I needed to do, so the question is no longer urgent, but the problem is still open.

    Thank again

  • My apologies, I made a mistake when typing the post. The function should have been ddMapGetFileViewType.

    Sorry about that,

    Andrew.
