Command
QisLib_AddBoundary Function: int QisLib_AddBoundary(const CQisBoundary* BoundaryStruct, CVectHandle* HandlePtr); Inputs: BoundaryStruct: Data cell containing information of the boundary to be added. HandlePtr: Pointer to an object to get the handle of the newly added boundary when the function returns. Return: success: 0 failure: value < 0 indicating one of the following errors Errors: -1: QisLib has not been initialized. -2: The specified input is invalid (null). -3: The GDSII/OASIS file is not loaded in memory. -4: Internal memory failure while adding boundary. -5: The specified cell does not exist. -6: One or more input data is invalid. -7: File open in progress, operation not permitted. Description: - This function adds a boundary to a cell. - If QisLib_SetAddVectorHandle is on, QisLib_AddBoundary returns a handle to the newly added boundary on successful completion via HandlePtr. This handle can be used to edit(delete) the boundary. - This function call is usually preceded by calls to QisLib_AddStructure and QisLib_AddLayer. - The file to which the boundary is to be added must be opened in edit mode either by opening it with QisLib_SetLoadMemory on or by creating a new file using QisLib_NewGDSII or QisLib_NewOASIS. - Adding data outside the extents of the cell might affect the extents of the cell or the cell's parents and grandparents. - These extents are not recomputed until QisLib_OpenStructure is called. - Once the extents are computed, they will not shrink back even if the polygon is deleted. - If the extents of a cell have not been recomputed by a call to QisLib_OpenStructure, polygons added outside the extents might not be drawn under certain conditions. - It is possible to add boundary to a cell currently not opened for viewing.
