How to activate "Highlight Individual Shapes" in leMarkNet( ), WITHOUT invoking the "MarkNet Options" form

First off, happy Friday to all ! Enjoy Super Bowl, along the side of this post..

Apparently, "MarkNet Options" allows MarkNet to highlight individual shapes through GUI (F9 + F3), in Virtuoso layout editor.

I'm trying to achieve the same programmably, by calling leMarkNet() at the command line.

Unfortunately, that only gives me the contours, not individual shapes.

Is there a quick way around this?

Thanks.

Daniel

p.s

A failed attempt:

Tried le0MarkNetForm~>optionTabs~>page1~>markNetHighlightIndividualShapes~>value = t

this works very well, ONLY after "MarkNet Options" form has been graphically displayed once. Or else, if complains the form does not exist..

    You can add use the following cmd in your SKILL script:

    envSetVal("layout" "markNetHilightIndividualShapes" 'boolean t)
