Question about Making several 'dbCreateRect's into one group

Andy kim

Hi 

i'm making one fuction about drawing gate_contact easily.(only for a specific part)

( * i'm beginner to skill language but i want to be a of help to my team)

let(
(cv rect1 rect2 rect3 rect4 fg)

cv=geGetEditCellView()

rect1=dbCreateRect(cv list("PO" "drawing") list(list(X X) list(X X))) 

rect2=dbCreateRect(cv list("CO" "drawing") list(list(X X) list(X X)))

rect3=dbCreateRect(cv list("PP" "drawing") list(list(X X) list(X X)))

rect4=dbCreateRect(cv list("M1" "drawing") list(list(X X) list(X X)))

fg=dbCreateFigGroup(cv "myFigGroup1" nil lowerLeft(list(rect1 rect2 rect3 rect4)~>bBox) "R0")

dbAddFigToFigGroup(fg list(rect1 rect2 rect3 rect4))

dbSave(cv)

) ; let exit

the problem is that the shape appears, but isn't grouped together.

please help me ; <

  • Andy,

    There are two issues here:

    fg=dbCreateFigGroup(cv "myFigGroup1" nil lowerLeft(list(rect1 rect2 rect3 rect4)~>bBox) "R0")

    will result in:

    *Error* dbCreateFigGroup: Invalid point - ((0.0 0.0) (1.0 1.0))

    That's because the list(rect1 rect2 rect3 rect4)~>bBox will return a list of bBoxes for each of the rectangles, but lowerLeft will simply return the first of these boxes (which is not a point). lowerLeft won't return the lower left-most corner of a list of bounding boxes. Anyway, since the origin of the figGroup is not that critical, you could just use:

    fg=dbCreateFigGroup(cv "myFigGroup1" nil lowerLeft(rect1~>bBox) "R0")

    Fixing that will lead to another error:

    *Error* dbAddFigToFigGroup: argument #2 should be a database object (type template = "dd") - (db:0x2761bd1d db:0x2761bd1c db:0x2761bd1b db:0x2761bd1a)

    which is because dbAddFigToFigGroup doesn't accept a list as the second argument. So instead:

    foreach(fig list(rect1 rect2 rect3 rect4)
        dbAddFigToFigGroup(fg fig)
    )

    will do what you want.
