Entering two values in a popup window and it will display desired third one

gaurc

I want to write a skill code- when a bindkey is pressed a popup window opens and it will ask metal name and current (Idc) value, after entering these data is shows corresponding path width required. how to do it? what are the functions involved?

  • Lots of functions.

    To create the window, you need to create some fields and a form. These are described in the SKILL User Interface Reference manual. This will also tell you how to tie a function call to a bind key. Use hiCreateLayerCyclicField and hiCreateFloatField for your input fields and maybe non editable a float field to display the output.

    The callback could be evoked by the form callback button or after you have entered the ldc.

    Somewhere you have to store the ldc formula for each layer. That could be part of your callback or the current capability could be in the techfile. You would then need to access the techfile for the current cellView, they can be found in the Technology Data SKILL Reference. techGetTechFile will give you the file ID, from there use techGetCurrentDensityRules or techGetCurrentDensityRuleTables to find the value to be plugged into the formula.

    Do your calculation (I would separate out the calculation procedure from the form callback to be tested separately) and put the return value in the display field.
