Description
This command will extract the boundary of a material and return the outline as a list of coordinates. This can be used to plot the limits of the material,or can be used for other processing. Usually this is used with the plot commands to create the device outline.
The return is a list of lists of coordinates on the boundary. The outer lists are distinct pieces of the material. Each of the outer lists make up a complete circle around the piece. Each inner list contains coordinate pairs in order around the material piece. The coordinate pairs are written in x y order around the material.
- Material Description
- Please see the Material description for information on specifying materials. A material must be specified for this command.
- x.value, y.value, z.value
- These parameters specify a cut line for the three-dimensional solid, so that a two-dimensional return is provided. They are ignored in one- and two- dimenisions.
Examples
bound oxide
This command will return the boundary of the oxide material.
