Specify WG length about siepic_ebeam_pdk

[jaspreetj]

Works but needs improvement. There are some bugs eg. sometimes the layout disappears upon the completion of the resizing operation.

press Ctrl + Shift + R to run the script while having a transient selection.

Hi Jaspreet,

A few problems:

• Layout disappears. I've seen this before when using a GUI and performing operations. In my case, the solution was to close the GUI first, then perform layout modifications
• if you select the waveguide, it crashes. only works if you select the path. should work for both. see my script "Waveguide_to_path"

Suggestions:

• remove 1st and last segments; these presumably never will be useful.
• perhaps only list eligible segments: name those whose neighbour segments point in the same direction (middle of a U-shape being the only allowable one).

Other:

• i edited the script: message text change, and added to menu.

fixed:

• layout disappears
• selection for PCell vs. GUIDING_PATH; both work
• correctly measuring the path length including bends
• added Undo functionality
• removed 1st/last points.

to do:

• quality control checking
• perhaps only list eligible segments: name those whose neighbour segments point in the same direction (middle of a U-shape being the only allowable one).

Bug:

• if the segment to be moved is on the left, it applies the "diff" in the incorrect direction (makes the waveguide shorter instead of longer)

working on the Bug and to do items.

Fixed: if the segment to be moved is on the left, it applies the "diff" in the incorrect direction (makes the waveguide shorter instead of longer)

New Bug detected: Waveguide resizer does not work on a waveguide which has already been resized. It moves the waveguide to the origin(0,0).

Currently Working on it.

Bug: segment says "horizontal" but it is vertical.

[lukasc-ubc]

did some GUI improvements.

The script was giving me syntax errors. So I did following fixes.

I commented out the line no. 110.

and changed line no. 79 from
if len(o_selection)<>1:
to
if len(o_selection)< 1:
