How to obtain the coordinates of the selected point on a path?

yankunRen

In Layout, after enabling the Partial Select option, you can select a specific corner (vertex) of a path.

How can I retrieve the coordinates of this selected vertex using SKILL?

Is there a built-in function that directly returns the coordinate of the selected point?

I'm currently using IC616.

    path = (css)
    foreach( ( pt is_sel ) path->points geGetSelSetFigPoint(path)
      info("%N is %sselected\n" pt (if is_sel "" "not "))
    )

    I cannot guarantee this will work on your extremely old Virtuoso version which is not supported anymore...

    It should work. I think that function has been there for ever (well, almost). I just checked in an old IC446 SKILL Quick Reference manual from September 2000 and geGetSelSetFigPoint was there. I went back more and it's in the 4.3 SKILL Quick Reference manual from March 1994 too!
