Drawing path using SKILL

wakeup12

Hello,

 I have modified a SKILL file to draw a path from one point to another. However, this function takes two arguments: starting and ending point.

 I was wondering if it is possible to write the corner points to make it really look like a path.

 Here is the code:

 pastebin.ubuntu.com/.../

 Currently, when we specify another location after the end point, we see a result like the right side of this image:

 

However, I would like to make it look like the one on the left using our function if possible.

 

Thank you for your response.

    Thank you for the answer.

    Actually the reason of using the method was to create somehow a layout in the background and call these functions to create a design.

    Let's say we will use OCEAN to load those files and call them one by one.

    According to your answer, it seems there is a way to create a layout and use it to add new devices. As you can see from the function, currently we are creating a dummy layout not to cause a syntax error (which is not well written), but using the currentCellView to create paths and transistors.

     

    Could you give a small example or link so that I could do the following?

     

     

    1. Create a layout in the background
    2. Use this layout to create paths using those point formats: '((x1 y1)) '((x2 y2)) '((x3 y3)) ... etc (we can also use (x1:y1) format, but I am not sure how I can convert our contacts[ array to this format.
    Thank you very much.
