Highlighting Shapes in a Cellview

To highlight shapes in a cellview:

1. Create a highlight set using geCreateHilightSet. Indicate the cellview and layer on which to draw the shapes. You can also indicate that the set is non-global by setting g_notGlobal to t.
2. Add shapes to the highlight set with the geAddHilight functions. You can also remove shapes from a highlight set with the geDeleteHilight functions.
3. Enable the highlight set by setting the enable attribute with hlSetId->enable = t.
4. If the highlight set is non-global, use gePushHilightStack to draw the highlight set and gePopHilightStack to remove the highlight set from the cellview.
5. If you want to change the layer of a highlight set, set the attribute with: hlSetId->layer = list("layer_name" "layer_purpose")
6. If you want to disable the highlight set, reset the enable attribute with: hlSetId->enable = nil
