question about geAddHilightRectangle

mctang

Hi All,

I would like to use "geAddHilightRectangle" to create a rectangle in Virtuoso based on the criteria. I need 10 different colors for highlight layer.

How do I know how many highlight layers are defined and supported by Virtuso techfile ? Is there any document for it ?

Thanks,

ManChak

    Lawrence is right (of course). The information about which (public) attributes of the highlight set object are available are covered in the documentation. It's in the <ICinstDir>/doc/skdfref/skdfref.pdf file, or you could use Help in Virtuoso (or run cdnshelp) and search for geCreateHilightSet and then move back to the beginning of the section on highlight-related functions.

    We don't fully document all the slots available on the object to allow us freedom to change the implementation - however, the enable attribute is clearly documented and expected that you'll use this to enable the display of the highlight set once you've added everything you need to the set.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
