Functions listed below can be called from a query expression.
Determine length of a list.
Arguments:
Return value: integer length of the list.
Determine length of a list.
Arguments:
Variable number of objects.
Return value: a list built of the objects passed.
Calculate the distance of two points.
Arguments:
Return value: floating point distance value in nanometers.
Build a DRC violation report.
Arguments (a variable number of pairs of instruction and value):
Instruction is one of the following constants:
Return value: a list suitable for the drc_query to process.
Return the netlist.
Arguments: None.
Return value: an unordered list of all networks specified on the edited netlist (which is the netlist the board is currently using). Each item of the list is a net.
Return terminals of a network.
Arguments:
Return value: an unordered list of objects (each terminal of the network as described by the edited netlist).
Return terminals and all copper objects galvanically connected to a network.
Arguments:
Return value: an unordered list of copper objects connected to the network.
Return a list of objects, one terminal object per disconnecte segment of the network.
Arguments:
Return value: an unordered list of terminal objects, one picked randomly from each disconnected segment of the net.
Start a search on a galvanically connected network segment starting from an object (typically returned by netsegs()) and generate a DRC violation if there are copper objects with overlap smaller than the minimum_overlap.
Arguments:
Return value: a list that represents a DRC violation (or empty list).
Start a search on a galvanically connected network segment starting from an object (typically returned by netsegs()) and generate a DRC violation if there are disconnected copper objects with distance smaller than the minimum_distance from the network.
Arguments:
Return value: a list that represents a DRC violation (or empty list).
Return a list of objects that are within the subc.
Arguments:
Return value: an unordered list of objects.
Execute a pcb-rnd action.
Arguments: variable nunmber of objects and constants.
Return value: invalid on error, or the return value of the action.
Fetch the value of a config node
Arguments:
Return value: invalid if the config node doesn't exist, else the value of the config node (converted to the most appropriate data type).
Return the number of layers on which the ring of a padstack is too thin.
Arguments:
Return value: negative on wrong arguments, 0 if the padstack does not violate the minimum_ring_thickness requirement, positive integer (number of violations) otherwise.
Return the number of visible polygon islands.
Arguments:
Return value: 0 if the polygon has been cleared out of existnece, 1 for normal polygons and a positive integer higher than 1 if the polygon has the FULLPOLY flag and is sliced into multiple parts not naturally connected by the polygon itself.
Returns 1 if obj1 and obj2 overlap (even if they are on different layers)
Arguments:
Return value: 1 for overlap, 0 for no overlap.
