    Hi Everyone,

    As we all know, the bounding box of a layout cell includes all the
    objects, including label/text. I would like to know how to get a
    bounding box of a layout cell EXCLUDING label/text.

    Thanks for your help!

  2. I assume you mean how to get the BBox in SKILL?!

    dbComputeBBoxNoNLP(
    d_cellViewId
    )
    => l_bBox / nil

    Computes the given cellview's bounding box, but excludes all the bounding boxes
    of the nlp labels in the given cellview itself and its reference cellviews.

    Bernd, thank you for your answering! ^O^ Actually, I know how to get a
    NORMAL bounding box of a cellview. But I mean how to get a bounding
    box of a cellview EXCLUDING the labels.

    One way to do this is to draw a rectangle in prBound layer as a
    bounding box and get the coordinates of this. But it is not an
    efficient way to do so if it involves a large number of cellviews.

    So is there any other way to do so??
