PGtext in nograph mode

jaleco

Is there a way to generate polygon text like the PGtext.il SKILL code, in nograph mode?

  • It might have originated from Cadence, but I have no way of knowing that! I have a file called PGtext.il which was written by Terry Maness in 1992, but I don't know if that's it. This is ancient and could almost certainly be relatively easily modified to work in batch mode though - however, if I was to adapt that I would probably completely rewrite it because it's not particularly well structured and uses some very old "compatibility" interfaces (it was originally written for Edge (prior to DFII). Your PGtext.il might be something different altogether.

    I don't have time to do that rewrite to a quality level I'd be happy sharing here...

    There was some early adopter functionality to incorporate the old turbo toolbox capability into mainstream virtuoso, but even that seems to be UI-centric (and it's not been fully released anyway).

    Regards,

    Andrew.
