An ellipse is represented by a centre point and an X and Y radius. If X and Y are equal, you have a circle. An ellipse is normally created by the cellView::dbCreateEllipse() or cellView::dbCreateCircle() function.
int x = e.left()
Returns the least X value of the ellipse’s bounding box.
int x = e.right()
Returns the greatest X value of the ellipse’s bounding box.
int e.bottom()
Returns the lowest Y value of the ellipse’s bounding box.
int e.top()
Returns the highest Y value of the ellipse’s bounding box.
e.setOrigin(Point origin)
e.setOrigin(int x, int y)
Sets the ellipse’s centre point.
int origin = e.origin()
Returns the ellipse’s centre point.
int h = e.height()
Returns the height of the ellipse.
int w = e.width()
Returns the width of the ellipse.
Rect e.bBox()
Returns the ellipse’s bounding box.
e.setXRadius(int r)
Set the X radius of the ellipse
e.setYRadius(int r)
Set the Y radius of the ellipse.
int r = e.xRadius()
Returns the X radius of the ellipse.
int r = e. yRadius()
Returns the Y radius of the ellipse.
e.setNumChords(int n)
Sets the number of edges that the ellipse will be fractured into when converting to a polygon.
int n = e.numChords()
Get the number of edges for the ellipse.
dbtype_t type = e.objType()
Returns the object’s type as ELLIPSE
const char *name = e.objName()
Returns the object’s name as “ELLIPSE”
double a = e.area()
Returns the ellipse’s area.
int p = e.perimeter()
Returns the ellipse’s perimeter.
bool ok = e.offGrid(int grid)
Returns true if the ellipse’s xRadius or yRadius is offgrid.
e.transform(transform trans)
Transforms the ellipse by trans.
e.Move(cellView *dest, Point delta, bool opt=True)
Move this ellipse by distance delta. If opt is True then the database is re-optimised for the new rectangle position. If there are a lot of objects to move it makes sense to turn this off and instead use the cellView update() function after moving them all.
dbObj *obj = e.Copy(cellView *dest, Point delta, layer=-1)
Copy this ellipse to cellView dest, with offset delta. If layer is non negative the rectangle will be copied to the new layer number.
dbObjList<dbObj> *objs = e.Flatten(cellView *dest, transform trans, bool hier=True)
Flatten this ellipse into cellView dest with transformation trans.
e.bias(int bias, int xgrid, int ygrid, int layer=-1)
Bias this ellipse by bias, snapping to the grid xgrid and ygrid.
e.scale(double scale, int grid)
Scale this ellipse by scale, snapping to the grid grid.
