Selectable markers in Marker Browser

edited April 2014 in General
Hi Matthias-

Sometime I highlight multiple markers using the marker browser. eg - I use it to highlight all SingleBit electrical fails from all dies of a wafer.
Then I find (visually) region of interest and zoom into one of the markers in this region.

The next thing i want to do is to identify exactly what is the 'identity' of this specific marker (I have the fail address in the catgeory of each marker).
The only way I know of doing it is by going marker after marker in the browser until the one in current view lights up. But this takes a long time.

Maybe there is a better way to do that.
Maybe there is a way of selecting a marker in the main window and the marker browser will jump to this marker?

Thanks much, Itamar

    Hi Itamar,

    there is no such feature right now, but there are two solutions:

    Use this script: http://178.77.72.242/svn-public/klayout-resources/trunk/scripts/show_markers.lym. It will list all markers in the view (up to 100). Please see the disclaimer in the script header. You can of course tailor it to your requirements.

    Or: If you happen to write the marker database yourself in .lyrdb format, you can provide a label next to the marker shape which displays the textual information in the marker view:

     <values>
      <value>polygon: (-88,-200;-88,-199;96,-199;96,-200)</value>
      <value>label: ("Label Text",r0 -88,-200)</value>
     </values>
    

    In that example, the text position is -88, -200 micrometers and the text is "Label Text".

    Matthias
