Cropped saved image

Hi,
from a Macro, when doing layoutview.save_image, how could I limit the saved area to the bounding ox of the non-background area? Or alternatively, how could I adjust the viewport to the area drawn on (and then save)? (I already set grid-visible to false, so I have a nice uniform background in the same image, but I want to automate image saving for documentation purposes.)

    Hi,

    I don't know whether I understand your request correctly, but I think you want to select a certain area before saving the image.

    The methods for doing so are:

    • "layout_view.zoom_box(box)" to select the rectangle given in "box" (in micron units)
    • "layout_view.zoom_fit" to select the bounding box of the current cell (plus some margin)

    Is that what you are looking for?

    Hi,

    can you paste the complete script? Saving images can be automated, but I suspect some script error. It's difficult to debug a script without seeing it.
