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.

    Your question is really confusing. OCEAN is for simulation and nothing to do with creating layout!

    Without knowing precisely how your contacts array is created, it's hard to advise how to convert it into a list, but you wouldn't be using '((x1 y1)). That's a quoted list which would mean that variables aren't evaluated.

    Maybe showing you an example would give you enough:

    defMathConstants('CCFmath)
    procedure(CCFdrawSillyPath(cv layer width periodLength pathAmplitude @optional (nPoints 100))
    let((x y points)
      for(i 0 nPoints
        x=i*float(periodLength)/nPoints
        y=pathAmplitude*sin(i*CCFmath.PI*2/nPoints)
        points=cons(list(x y) points)
      )
      dbCreatePath(cv layer points width)
    ))

    cv=dbOpenCellViewByType("myLib" "myCell" "layout" "maskLayout" "a")
    CCFdrawSillyPath(cv "Metal2" 1.0 100.0 20.0)
    dbSave(cv)
    dbClose(cv)

    An utterly silly example, but it should show you how to create a list of points (where each point is a list of an x and a y value), and then open a cellView, create some shapes, save and close it. No need to have any windows open when you do this.

    You could do this with "virtuoso -nograph" so no need to have any graphics either.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
