Description

Adds one or more rectangle or polygon shapes to the given scratch layer. These shapes can be:

• Used directly with Boolean operations
• Used to indicate regions to operate on by commands such as find_shape and proute_create_via_array.

Arguments

-rect {f_xlo f_ylo f_xhi f_yhi}
	Specifies the location for the rectangle shape, given the lower left and upper right coordinates.
-rects {{f_xlo f_ylo f_xhi f_yhi}… {f_x1 f_y1 … f_xn f_yn}…}
	Specifies one or more rectangle shapes (given by the lower left and upper right coordinates) and/or one or more polygonal shapes (given by at least four x-y coordinate pairs in rectilinear sequence and the first x-y pair must be the same as the last x-y pair).
-scratch_layer i_scratchID
	Adds the shapes to the scratch layer identified by the positive non-zero integer.

Examples

The following command adds a rectangle and a polygon shape to scratch layer 2.

geom_add_shape -rects {{20 20 30 30} {0 1 10 1 10 7 4 7 4 3 0 3 0 1}} -scratch_layer 2

The following command, using -rect, adds a rectangle to scratch layer 2.

geom_add_shape -rects {20 20 30 30} -scratch_layer 2

The following command, using -rects, adds a rectangle to scratch layer 2.

geom_add_shape -rects {{20 20 30 30}} -scratch_layer 2
