To change the rectangle area

naresh9005

Hi

we are trying to write skill script to change the rectangle area as required in a particular direction selected by user. for example if i have a MET1 rectangle with 10u width and 10u Hight , now my rectangle area will be 100usq. if the user wants to change the area to 150usq in the partially selected direction then rectangle should grow in that direction. if the user partially selected  top side of the rectangle then Hight should be 15u and width should be 10u, now the total area will be 150usq.

I am trying below code which is not completed, and i am trying to get the partially selected coordinates by using "geGetSelSetFigPoin()" but it is not returning any coordinates. 

could you please help me with full skill script . 

procedure(recArea()
cv=geGetEditCellView()
;wid=geGetCellViewWindow(cv) \\\to get the window ID.
cr= geGetSelectedSet()
;scr=cadr(cr)
ccr=car(cr)
sp= geGetSelSetFigPoint(ccr)
x=ccr~>objType
if(ccr~>objType == "rect" then
print("seleted obj is rectongal")t
cbBox=ccr~>bBox
left=car(car( cbBox ))
bottom=cadr(car(cbBox))
right=car(cadr(cbBox))
top=cadr(cadr(cbBox))
area=(right-left)*(bottom-top)
printf("\n area of the rectongal is = %10.2f.\n " area )
)
;geSubSelectPoint( wid t list(0:0))
)

recArea()

  • Hi,

    It worked for me after I changed bottom-top to top-bottom and removed the trailing 't' of the print statement

    Thank you , I am not trying to find the area of the rectangle, instead i am trying to change the area as user mentioned in particular direction as mention in the problem statement.

    Then I don't understand your code at all. It doesn't do any recomputation of the rectangle. And why do you assign geGetSelSetFigPoint(ccr) to a variable named sp and then never use that variable again.
    Anyway - I take it that you want to resize a rectangle by stretching it in a direction that is determined by the selected edge - correct?
    But where is the information about the new area (150u in your example) coming from? I think you need to be a little more specific about the actual requirement.

    Thanks for you replay.

    yes, I want to resize the rectangle by stretching it in a direction that is determined by the selected edge and  new area should be given as input to the script.

               I am beginner to skill scripting and currently my script can only calculate rectangle area it does not have information about the new area.

              could you please help me,  how can I give new area as input to the script and resize the rectangle according to selected direction.

    Regards
