Export Image

ahata

 Hi,

 I'm runing an skill code which generates all layouts automatically and I would like to export an image of each layout. I am using the comman:

 

deOpenCellView( libName cell "layout" "maskLayout" wid "r")

hiExportImage(?fileName imagePath ?bBox list(llx:lly urx:ury) ?width  nwpix ?window wid)

 which if I am bit wrong generates an image of the layout that is opened in a windows wid.

 My question is if there's a way to generate the image without opening the window. Since I'm actually taking several images, opening the windows is time consuming.

 Thanks in advance for your help

  • You can either do it like this: 

        ;--------------------------------------------------------------------
    ; Open a window and export it. 
    ; 
    ; If using IC613 ISR13 or later, you can use "none" in the call
    ; to hiCreateWindow below. Otherwise change it to be "graphics"
    ; (the difference is that the window will then appear briefly)
    ;--------------------------------------------------------------------
    ;; Similar to thumbnail code...
    dd=ddGetObj( lib cell view "*")
    viewType=ddMapGetFileViewType(dd)

    ; was none rather than graphics
    wid = hiCreateWindow( list(0:0 800:800) "none" "Export Window")
    wid->neverCurrentWindow = t
    deOpenCellView( lib cell view viewType wid "r")

    sprintf(imageFile "tbIMG_%s.png" testName)
    hiExportImage(
      ?fileName strcat(datasheetDir "/" imageFile)
      ?exportRegion 'entireDesign
      ?bgType 'transparent
      ?window wid
    )
    hiCloseWindow(wid)

     

    Or you could use hiGenerateThumbnails() to do this - it has (from IC615 onwards) a ?filePath argument which allows you to generate the "thumbnail" (which can be whatever sizes you want) to a file outside the cellView.
