[SKILL++] How to create a cell matrix using skill++?

HG202501232515

Hello, everyone

  I'm wondering is there anyway to create cell in array matrix using skill++? I found some api like dbCreateParamSimpleMosic(), but it needs a database object. How can i get  the object in skill++?

Brs,

  Hunter

    Hi Hunter,

    I'm not sure which argument you mean - the first argument is the database object of the cellView you are creating the mosaic in, so that could be found with dbOpenCellViewByType() or geGetEditCellView() if you have a window open. The second argument is the database id of the cell being placed in the array, so you'd use dbOpenCellViewByType() to get that.

    Or you could use dbCreateParamSimpleMosaicByMasterName() which instead allows you to specify the lib/cell/view of the cell being instantiated.

    Regards,

    Andrew

    Thank you for your reply, Andrew. I'm now learning skill++ pcell coding,and I want to wrap the basecell (coded by skill++ as well) in my pcell so that some parts can be reused. Indeed, I can put my basecell in my library with cellview as I need, but it seems not  a good way when I have lots of work to do. 

    My code is here:

    defmethod  ( pcDraw (device newcell)

             cell=makeInstance(basecell)

             dbCreateSimpleMosic(pcCellView cell~>cvId ...) ;error occured

      )

    I'm not sure the acutual initiating procedure in skill++, the code is not work because the cell~>cvId is not assigned. Is there a good way to solve this problem?
