  • Next message: Philippe Pouliquen: "Re: mosis cell library"

    I'll let the discussion continue on the technology file, euclidean vs
    manhattan and the like and go on to another point with the intention of
    coming back to the Mosis issue a little later. Magic-7.2.31 compiles and
    runs just fine with 'make tcl' & 'make install-tcl'. I am able to do a 'load
    /usr/lib/libspice' and a ":spice::version" just fine. Good job, Tim.
    
    I have a little further on BLT. From a bash prompt (magic not loaded), I can
    do:
    wish
    package require BLT
    namespace import blt::*
    set x {1 2 3}
    set y {4 5 6}
    graph .g -title "killroy was here"
    .g element create x -label "x killroy data" -xdata $x -ydata $y
    pack .g
    
    and get a graph just fine. Once magic has started up, I get a blank tclspice
    graph with y axis going from 0 to 1 in 0.1 increments and x axis going from
    0 to 1 in 100.0m increments, but I cant write anything to either that graph
    or a new graph from the tcl prompt in magic. It also seems tclspice is
    giving me an error to the bash prompt screen that is only seen when magic
    exits that is coming from inside its graph.c when it cannot get access to
    the graph object. An asciiplot works fine from within magic, just the BLT
    graphics seem thwarted at this moment by some logical battle going on
    between a couple of subroutines.
    
    The good news is spice works from a magic tcl prompt and will extract
    geometry from a magic layout of an inverter, and gate and nor gate. Again, I
    am concentrating on the standard cells from
    http://www.rsl.ukans.edu/~mlinhard/magic until the Mosis technology file
    issue gets a little further along.
