XSCHEM SCRIPTS


+ +

+ Xschem is a tcl interpreter and as such TCL scripts and commands can be executed. + Xschem adds its own extension commands, mostly with the xschem TCL command. + See this manual page. + The same procedure as tcl is used to load and execute a script: + 

     source /path/to/script.tcl
+

+

+ there are various ways to run a script in xschem: +

+
    +
  1. + On the xschem command prompt: + 

    source myscript.tcl

    +
    2. + +
  2. + In the xschemrc you may set the tcl_files tcl variable with a list of files + to read in and execute after xschem is started: + 

    set tcl_files {/path/to/file1.tcl  /path/to/file2.tcl}

    +
    3. + +
  3. + the postinit_commands variable in xschemrc can be filled with tcl code , + it is executed when starting xschem: + 

    set postinit_commands {
+  puts hello
+  puts world
+}
+

    +
    4. + +
  4. + On the unix shell command line with --tcl (this code is executed after reading + xschemrc, this is usually done to override xschemrc settings: + 

    xschem --tcl 'set intuitive_interface 0'

    +
    5. + +
  5. + On the unix shell command line with --preinit. Same as --tcl, + but the commands are executed + at the very beginning of xschem startup, before reading xschemrc. + Usually done to change some internal variables for testing + 

    xschem --preinit 'some_weird_tcl_code'

    +
    6. + +
  6. + On the unix shell command line with --command. + The specified tcl code is executed after complete startup so all extended + xschem commands are available: + 

    +xschem solar_panel.sch --command 'xschem netlist; simulate'  #there are other ways to do this, just an example
+

    +
    7. + +
  7. + + On the unix shell command line with --script. Specify a file to source, + it will be executed after complete startup. + 

    xschem --script myscript.tcl
