DrawingField Class Reference

The head class of the drawing. More...

See also: List of Classes

Detailed Description

Each layout main windows has exactly one object of the class drawingField. This object can be accessed via the class layout. In the drawingField all drawing relevant information are accessible. The basic setup is stored in userunits and databaseunits. The different cell are accessabe via firstCell. currentCell holds a point to the currently displayed cell. All members of the drawingField class are usable in a simplified form without braces, commas and semicolons from the commandline-toolbar. The characters are essential, if used in a macro.

Example:

   1 // set active layer
   2 layout->drawing->activeLayer=9;
   3 // create a box
   4 layout->drawing->point(220000,-140000);
   5 layout->drawing->point(380000,-260000);
   6 layout->drawing->box();
   7 //create a polygon
   8 layout->drawing->point(380000,-260000);
   9 layout->drawing->point(570000,-260000);
  10 layout->drawing->point(570000,-180000);
  11 layout->drawing->point(470000,-180000);
  12 layout->drawing->point(470000,-210000);
  13 layout->drawing->point(380000,-210000);
  14 layout->drawing->polygon();
  15 // change active layer
  16 layout->drawing->activeLayer=6;
  17 // create a path
  18 layout->drawing->point(380000,-140000);
  19 layout->drawing->point(470000,-140000);
  20 layout->drawing->point(470000,-180000);
  21 layout->drawing->path();

void drawingField::cellRef(string s)

Add a cellref to the current cell. One coordinate had to be entered before with the point command. This point is the reference point of the insert cellref.

There is no check for circular references. e.g. if you add a reference from cellA to cellB, but cellB has a cell reference to cellA, you may get trouble and the display of the design may fail.

See also: CellReferenceMode

void drawingField::cellrefarray(string s,int x, int y)

Add an array of cellref's to the current cell. Two coordinates have to be entered before calling this function using the point command. The first point is the reference point of the inserted array of cellref. The difference of the second point to the first point defines the spacing. Or in other words: the first point is the origin point the lower left reference of the array. The second point is the origin point of the second element from the bottom and the second element from the left. So the two points used in macro are identical with the two point you enter, when placing a array from the GUI.

The cellref is arrayed 'x' times in the x-dimension and 'y' time in the y-dimension.

There is no check for circular references. (see above drawingField::cellRef)
