dbCreateSameMaskGroup

dbCreateSameMaskGroup(
d_cellView
t_groupName
)
=> d_group / nil

Description

Creates a same-mask, color shape group (d_group) in the specified cellview with the given name. The name must be unique amongst all same-mask groups in the cellview. You can only add shapes to the resulting group.

A same-mask, color shape group allows the user to specify a group of shapes on a layer that must be on the same color mask.

The same mask groups created by the dbCreateSameMaskGroup function are protected by default. They cannot be returned in collections (for example, cv~>groups).

Arguments

d_cellView	Specifies the cellview ID
t_groupName	Specifies the name of a group that is to be created

Value Returned

d_group	Returns the ID of the diff-mask group created
`nil`	Returns `nil` if an error occurs during execution

Example

groupMC1 = dbCreateSameMaskGroup( cvId "MC1Group" )

dbAddObjectToGroup( groupMC1 rectM1 )

dbAddObjectToGroup( groupMC1 circleM3 )
