Dear Stefan:
I have a question and a request. On the question part, although I can
extract and spice a layout from within magic with tclspice, I seem to only
be able to figure out how to plot variables defined in the spice file such
as in and out. Is there a simple way to plot say i(vdd) so I can look at the
current of my inverter. I am using the university of kansas invf100.mag cell
for testing right now ( http://www.rsl.ukans.edu/~mlinhart/magic ). I am
trying to get to a point where I can put together a modest tutorial for
those wishing to see tclspice work with magic and plotting a derived value
like current of a node would be interesting.
On the request part, I would appreciate it if you would consider making all
of the output from tclspice come to the tkcon window when spice is loaded
from within magic and remove the dependence on the bash shell for printf. I
did receive your e-mail regarding:

and certainly I could do that, but it would be cleaner if I did not have to
patch tclspice. Perhaps you might consider having an define in the make tcl
rule that does the previous and sends them out with TK_con prints or puts.
Again, I thank you for your efforts and we are making progress. I am please
to see you got the colormap thing under control on your Mac.
