    The "le" functions are specific to the "Layout Editor", and the "hi" functions are "Human Interface". They will apply to the Virtuoso interface as a whole, and in the case of hiZoomWindowAtAPoint, will work in any graphical window (so layout, schematic, symbol editor windows). You'll also find Schematic Editor functions "sch", and similarly prefixes used for many other parts of the application programming interface.

    Regards,

    Andrew
