<H3>Summary:</H3>
|
|
<BLOCKQUOTE>
|
|
The <B>promptload</B> command handles input of various file formats
|
|
for the GUI layout window in the Tcl-based version of magic when
|
|
invoked with the <B>magic -w</B> option. The handling is more
|
|
sophisticated than the underlying magic calls. The <B>gds</B>
|
|
read function will attempt to find the top-level GDS cell and
|
|
load it into the current window. Likewise, the <B>cif</B> read
|
|
function will name the top-level cell with the root name of the
|
|
file being read. The <B>magic</B> load will append the path of
|
|
the indicated file to the search path, so that if the file
|
|
makes calls to additional cells in the same directory, they will
|
|
be found and loaded.

<H3>Implementation Notes:</H3>
|
|
<BLOCKQUOTE>
|
|
<B>promptload</B> is implemented as a Tcl procedure in the "wrapper"
|
|
script. It calls the <B>tk_getOpenFile</B> widget in Tk.
