Fill klayout dialogs from RBA

edited July 2012 in General
Is it possible to fill a KLayout dialog from RBA?
For some DRC automation job, I would like to open the Marker Browser dialog from ruby (which can be done by triggering the menu item) and fill the Database field.

    Hallo,

    it is possible to create a marker database by script and show the marker browser dialog with that marker database.

    I have added a sample script that demonstrates how to create, fill and show a marker database. In that script the database is filled from the shapes on the currently selected layer.

    Best regards,

    Matthias
