How to use skill command to close a schematic window?

Hi
I want to ask a simple question:
How to use skill command to close a schematic window?

I did some search but can not find a proper command.
Can anyone help? thank you.

hiCloseWindow(window_id) should do it.

The key is to find the right window_id and that depends on what you
are trying to do. For example, if the window you want to close is
always the current window:

hiCloseWindow(hiGetCurrentWindow())

or if the variable 'cv' refers to the cell view currently displayed in
the window you wish to close:

hiCloseWindow(geGetCellViewWindow(cv))

I hope that helps.

If you use dbOpenCellViewByType and assign the return database
object id to a variable, such as

myCell = dbOpenCellViewByType(libName cellName viewName)

then you can close it by

dbClose(myCell)

myCell = dbOpenCellViewByType(libName cellName viewName)

then you can close it by

dbClose(myCell)

Although that will only close the window if there is nothing else referencing
the cellView - effectively the system keeps track of the number of opens vs
number of closes.

So hiCloseWindow() is the right way to close a window.

Only if the cellView gets purged from memory (num closes == num opens, or
dbPurge is used) will any containing window get closed too.
