bound - extract the boundary of a material and return as a list of coordinates
Synopsis
bound
- Material Description
- ( [x.value=<n>][y.val=<n>][z.val=<n>] )
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 [BLTPlot.html BLT 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 MaterialType 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

This command will return the boundary of the oxide material.
