attach label to a pin as a 'children'

Dear all,

 I have only pins in the layout and I want to attach a label to it. Unfortunatelly the 'children' cannot be set.

Anyone knows how to set it correctly?

Here is the example of my code. 

Regards,

 

cv=geGetWindowCellView()
p=caar(cv~>terminals~>pins)
foreach(p cv~>terminals~>pins
p1=car(p)
p1~>net~>name
f1=car(p1~>figs)
unless(f1~>children f1~>children=
dbCreateLabel(cv list(f1~>layerName  "label" ) centerBox(f1~>bBox)
p1~>net~>name "centerLeft" "R0" "roman" 0.5)))
 
 
*Error* setSGq: (DB-370034): dbSetq: Cannot set attribute - children

     Thantks Dereck,

    That was exactly what I was missing. Now I have the same behaviour as when I click on the button : Create Pin. I mean by that, that the text moves with the square rectangle. I was just curious how to use  dbCreateTextDisplay. I saw in one of your other post that the two first argument could be (should be?) similar.

     

    cv=geGetWindowCellView()
    ;; p=car(cv~>terminals~>pins)
    ;; term=car(cv~>terminals)
    foreach(term cv~>terminals
    p1=car(term~>pins) ;let supose term has only one pin
    p1~>net~>name
    f1=car(p1~>figs)   ;let supose p1 has only objType "rect" 
    unless(f1~>children ; when no attached text Display, let us create one (not a label, even if similar)
    disp=dbCreateTextDisplay( term term list(f1~>layerName  "label" ) t centerBox(f1~>bBox) "centerLeft" "R0" "roman" 0.5) 
    disp~>isNameVisible=nil ;makes the 'name=' invisible
    disp~>parent=p1~>fig    ;makes the text moving with the rect pin
    ; and now f1~>children is not nil => so a can re-run the script
    ))
