PGtext in nograph mode

jaleco

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

Parents
  • Correction, my PGtext.il actually does include Terry Maness' name, but not as one of the original procedure authors.

    In any case, if it is helpful at all to others, the old PGtext SKILL code uses the vertex coordinate list of a polygon (create your own library of polygon characters and capture their point lists). Operating in nograph mode, use dbOpenCellViewByType(), and dbCreatePolygon(), passing the point list as an argument to create the polygon. The PGtext scripts and forms offer additional means of creating character strings, magnification factors etc. I am just updating mask issue level characters for this application, so dumbed my code down to the 2 listed db commands using existing point lists to create a single polygon shape.
