dbTransformPoint

dbTransformPoint( 
l_point 
l_list 
) 
=> l_point / nil 

Description

Transforms a coordinate pair.

Using the location and orientation you specify, this function calculates how a certain shape (such as a pin on the master) in an instance of a cell is repositioned. This function performs calculations and is not related to any database object.

Arguments

l_point	Coordinate pair to be transformed.
l_list	List of the following: displacement vector offset, rotation or reflection of the object, and magnification (optional).
	Valid values for rotation are R0, R90, R180, and R270.
	Valid values for reflection are MX, MXR90, MY, and MYR90.

Value Returned

l_point	The coordinate pair of the location of the object after the transformation.
nil	The transformation is not successful.

Examples

dbTransformPoint( (1.5:2.5) list(0:10 "R90" 2.5) )
=> (-6.250000 13.750000)
