How to use thick lines for highlighting functions: geAddHilightRectangle / Path / PathSeg / Polygon, etc.

DanielDing

I've been looking through the documents for a while without luck. Please kindly help:

When I use geAddHilightRectangle, it comes with thin line highlights in the layout. How to switch to thick lines?

I don't see such arguments in these functions as documented, nor does envSetVal("layout" "markNetThickline" 'boolean t) work..

Thanks much,

Duo

  • The thickness is controlled by the display.drf packet definition for the layer-purpose you're using for the hilight set. You can however control the thickness of the halo if you use halos on the hilight set - e.g. using geSetHilightSetHaloParameters.

    Regards,

    Andrew.

    Thanks much for the pointer, Andrew.

    In the same direction, I ended up using the following in an interactive SKILL session:

    drSetPacket("display" "y0" "blank" "thick2" "yellow" "yellow" "outline") to change the line thickness on "y0"/"drawing"

    or

    keep the original y0 as is, add another display packet and change highlight to it:

    drSetPacket( "display" "y0_thick" "blank" "thick2" "yellow" "yellow" "outline")

    geChangeHilightPacketName( hlightSetID "y0_thick")
