moveLabels to centre of bBox

santvlsi

Hi All,

I am trying to move labels to centre of bBox with bindkey and here is my code: 

hiSetBindKey("Layout" "<Key>a" "moveLabels()")
procedure(moveLabels()
cv=geGetEditCellView()
d=setof(l cv~>shapes l~>objType == "label" l~>lpp=='("M2" "pin") && l~>theLabel != "A" && l~>theLabel != "B" && l~>theLabel != "EN")
xco=caadr(cv~>prBoundary~>bBox)/2
getxy=d~>xy
newlist=foreach(mapcar fix getxy list(xco yCoord(fix)))
foreach(c d c~>xy=newlist)
);proc

Above code results in : * dbSetq: Invalid point error.

Can anyone please guide me what's wrong with this code.

Thank you

  • I've not tried out your code or tested this, but it looks to me as if you are trying to set the xy attribute of each label to the list of new xy coordinates for all labels. That isn't going to work, of course.

    Probably your final foreach should be:

    foreach((label newXY) d newlist
      label~>xy=newXY
    )

    This is looping over the d and newlist lists in parallel, setting loop variables label and newXY to the corresponding elements in turn.

    A bit of advice - life will be much easier for you if you give variables meaningful names (c, d, newlist are not exactly very expressive), plus you should the variables you create in a let() so they remain local to the moveLabels function. The name of the function should also ideally have a prefix to avoid clashing with anyone else's moveLabel function.
