Is it possible to use rodFillBBoxWithRects with elementsX or elementsY similar to rodCreateRect

Hi All,

    I would like to fill BBox with contacts and need to create rows or columns of the same fillBBox. "rodFillBBoxWithRects " will do the filling of contacts in the specified fillBBox but there is no feature like elementsX,elementsY,spaceX,spaceY (spacing between them) etc. similar to rodCreateRect.

1) One way that I have tried to create fillBBox and use it as a mosaic with elementsX,elementsY,spaceX,spaceY.

2) rodCreateRect with ?subRectArray option, But it leads to more calculations for width, length and spacings

Is there any easy way to do the same?

    if(mosaic then
       dbCreateParamSimpleMosaicByMasterName(pcCellView "lib" "cell" "layout" "" 0:0 "R0" rows cols spaceX spaceY list(...))
    else
      ; do whatever  you want when the mosaic is off
    )

    Presumably you could have worked that out yourself though (since you already mentioned that you were using dbCreateParamSimpleMosaic in pcell code). So I am guessing you're trying (and failing) to ask something else?

    Regards,

    Andrew.
