Virtuoso cordinate

[konnanur@gmail.com]

Hi,
Is there a function/menu in Virtuoso that if I know the (x,y) then
I can just type in the box and the cursor highlights the coordinate
location.

Thanks,
Hari

Hi Hari
One way is press k in the layout window and then key in
x:y in the ciw window and press enter. This will create a ruler with
x,y as the starting point. For this to work your infix option should
be switched off.(this option is present in options->user preferences
in ciw)

Or do Window->Pan (I think that's the menu it's under - I'm off the network
current), and type in x:y in the CIW - it will pan to be centred at that
location.

Also, there are functions in this code below you might find useful:

Pan to typed in coordinate or move cursor to typed in coordinates.

There are two public functions:

abPanPoint()
abCursorPoint()

This will zoom to the specified point :

leZoomToPoint( hiGetCurrentWindow() x_coord:y_coord )

This will create a marker at the point :

geCreateMarkerByPoints(
geGetWindowCellView(hiGetCurrentWindow())
"warning"
"user"
sprintf(nil "coordinates : %g:%g" x_coord y_coord)
""
list(x_coord:y_coord)
)
