Command
QisLib_AddRoundPolygon
Function:
int QisLib_AddRoundPolygon(const CQisRound* RoundStruct, CVectHandle* HandlePtr);
Inputs:
RoundStruct: Data cell containing information of the round polygon to be added.
HandlePtr: Pointer to an object to get the handle of the newly added round polygon
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 round polygon.
-5: The specified cell does not exist.
-6: One or more of the input data is invalid.
-7: File open in progress, operation not permitted.
Description:
- This function adds a round polygon (a polygon with many vertices which looks like a
circle) to a cell.
- Since GDSII does not recognize circles, this polygon is an approximation consisting
of some number of vertices joined by segments. For OASIS, it is also added as a
polygon with many vertices.
- The number of vertices and how close this polygon is to a circle is determined by
the ArcRes member of CQisRound data cell. ArcRes is the arc resolution between 2
vertices, the smaller the arc, the finer the round polygon appears.
- If QisLib_SetAddVectorHandle is on, QisLib_AddRoundPolygon returns a handle to the
newly added round polygon on successful completion via HandlePtr. This handle can
be used to edit (delete) the round polygon.
- This function call is usually preceded by calls to QisLib_AddStructure and
QisLib_AddLayer.
- The file to which the round polygon 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 polygon to a cell currently not opened for viewing.
