A way to capture total area of a layout cellView

leHiAreaDensity gives me the information I need in "TotalArea" - but it requires manual interaction.

leComputeAreaDensity would be perfect if it reported TotalArea, but it only analyzes the specified layer. 

If anyone has something to share, please post.

Thanks

    Sure, cv~>bBox is useful, but it gets thrown off by invisible objects (steiners, etc).

    This one seems to offer a workaround, but I haven't had time to investigate it :

    Essentially, we are interested in the effective silicon area of the cell
