Hello Philip,
I added a postscript image as a background on one page. I used it
as a pattern and added other stuff. I no longer need the
background image, but I can't figure out how to delete it!
Am I missing something obvious?
XCircuit version 3.9 revision 66
Sorry about the delay in answering. I'm kind of tied up with the
Google/SkyWater open PDK shuttle run right now. . .
Anyway, I didn't answer right away because I needed to stare at the
source code to figure out if that had been implemented. Apparently
not.
That means that the only way to get rid of a background image would be
to manually remove it from the XCircuit file. Find "%%BeginSetup"
in the output, which should be followed by "%imagedata ...". Remove
everything between "%%BeginSetup" and "%%EndSetup".
I don't remember much about what I did with the background rendering,
but it looks like I have the postscript rendered into a pixmap, and then
call the pixmap as a graphic, which means that it is probably altogether
more convenient to use the "Import Graphic" function so that the
document is an object. But anyway, I think hand-editing the file will
get rid of it.
I couldn't get the "render background image" function to work right when
I tried it now; it generated an image and dropped it in the output file,
but it wouldn't render it. I think I need to revisit that feature.
Regards,
Tim
