Source Code Commentary

When you download and install QISLIB it comes with TiffExtract and the Visual C project files needed to build it.

Below we add some comments and explanations that highlight important aspects of using QISLIB

We start with the usual includes and code needed for our simple window. Click here to jump to where QISLIB is initialized.

Getting the Layer List

The list of layers we wish to rasterize has to be read from the dialog box's field and parsed. This will be passed to QISLIB before the GDSII file is opened to set the InputLayerFilter so that only the layer(s) we are processing will get loaded into memory. Click here to jump to where we get the GDSII file name and start setting up QISLIB.

char* GetLayerSelection(char *laystr, CString	layernumstr)
{
  char **layer_list;
  char *tempstr;
  char tstr[64];
  int i, n;
  char *cp;

  tempstr = (char *) malloc(strlen(LPCTSTR(layernumstr))+1);
  strcpy(tempstr,LPCTSTR(layernumstr));
 
  n = 0;
  cp = strtok(tempstr," \t,");
  while(cp != NULL) {
    n++;
    cp = strtok(NULL," \t,");
  }

  layer_list = (char **) malloc(sizeof(char *) * n);
  
  strcpy(tempstr,LPCTSTR(layernumstr));
 
  n = 0;
  cp = strtok(tempstr," \t,");
  while(cp != NULL) {
    layer_list[n] = cp;
    n++;
    cp = strtok(NULL," \t,");
  }
  
  // layernum = atoi(LPCTSTR(layernumstr));

  // turn off All layers, open only the specified layer (can be changed to open multiple layers)
  // sprintf(laystr,"All-NULL,%d-%d",layernum,layernum);

  strcpy(laystr,"All-NULL");
  for(i = 0; i < n; i++) {
    sprintf(tstr,",%s-%s",layer_list[i],layer_list[i]);
    strcat(laystr,tstr);
  }

  free(layer_list);
  free(tempstr);

  return(laystr);
}

Getting the GDSII File Name

Here we get the name/path of the GDSII file from the file browser dialog.

Click here to jump to where we set some QISLIB parameters prior to actually opening the file with QISLIB.


void CTiffextractDlg::OnOpengdsbut() 
{
	// TODO: Add your control notification handler code here	
  CFileDialog filedlg(true,NULL,NULL,OFN_FILEMUSTEXIST);
  char tempstr[256];
  char laystr[256];
  int ret;
  
  UpdateData(TRUE);
  if (filedlg.DoModal() == IDOK)
  {
    strcpy(GDSIIFile,filedlg.GetPathName());
    m_gdsiifile.Format("Opening...");
    UpdateData(FALSE);
	
	

Settings for QISLIB prior to Opening the GDSII File

We will set our input layer filter to the layers the user provided. We'll also set LoadMemory ON and Loading of Text to OFF and Array Mode to FULL.

Now we are ready to actually open the GDSII file ... Click here to jump to where we open the GDSII file.


    if (m_layernumstr.GetLength() > 0)
    {
      GetLayerSelection(laystr,m_layernumstr);

      QisLib_SetInputLayerMap(laystr);
    }
    else
      QisLib_SetInputLayerMap("Off"); // turn off layer mapping means open all layers

    // use more memory to open the GDSII file, operations will be faster
    QisLib_SetLoadMemory(_QIS_ON); 
    QisLib_SetTextMode(_QIS_OFF);

    //QisLib_SetStructureDisplayFilterSize(0);  // this control should not matter to QisLib_GetHiresImage
                                                // but added for completeness

    //QisLib_SetDisplayFilterSize(0);           // this control should not matter to QisLib_GetHiresImage
                                                // but added for completeness

    //QisLib_SetNestingLevel(_QISNL_ALL);       // this control should not matter to QisLib_GetHiresImage
                                                // but added for completeness

    QisLib_SetArrayMode(_QISARR_FULL);          // on the otherhand this control *IS* VERY important
	
	

Opening the GDSII File

We previously read the GDSII file name and path, we've made the correct settings. Now we can open the file.

Click here to jump to the section where the window list is selected by the user ...


    // open the GDSII file, this might take a while depending on file size
    ret = QisLib_OpenGDSII(GDSIIFile);
    if (ret != 0)
    {
      GDSIIOpened = false;
      m_gdsiifile.Format("");
      sprintf(tempstr,"Error occurred when opening GDSII file (%d).",ret);
      AfxMessageBox(tempstr);
    }
    else
    {
      m_gdsiifile.Format("'%s' opened",GDSIIFile);
      GDSIIOpened = true;
      
      GetDlgItem(IDC_COORDSBUT)->EnableWindow(TRUE);
    }
    UpdateData(FALSE);
  }
}


Getting the file containing the list of windows

The lines below enable the user to pick a file containing the window list.

Click here to jump to the loop where we process each line of the window file ...


void CTiffextractDlg::OnCoordsbut() 
{
	// TODO: Add your control notification handler code here

  CFileDialog filedlg(true,NULL,NULL,OFN_FILEMUSTEXIST);
  char tempstr[256];
  int ret;

  if (filedlg.DoModal() == IDOK)
  {
    strcpy(CoordsFile,filedlg.GetPathName());
    m_coordsfile.Format("%s",CoordsFile);

    GetDlgItem(IDOK)->EnableWindow(TRUE);
    UpdateData(FALSE);
  }
}

void CTiffextractDlg::OnOK() 
{
	// TODO: Add extra validation here
	
	//CDialog::OnOK();

  if (!GDSIIOpened || CoordsFile[0] == 0)
  {
    AfxMessageBox("Open a GDSII file and select a coordinates file first before translating.");
    return;
  }

  LARGE_INTEGER m_startValue;
  LARGE_INTEGER m_stopValue;
  LARGE_INTEGER m_frequency;
  LONGLONG pInterval;
  bool gottime=false;

  char outputfn[_MAX_PATH];
  char tempstr[256];
  char buff[512];
  char llurstr[256];
  char *cp;
  double llx,lly,urx,ury,awidth;
  int widthpixels;
  int dpinum;
  int ret;
  int someerrors = 0;
  int translatedtiffs = 0;

  CQisWindow awin;


  FILE *f=fopen(CoordsFile,"r+t");
  if (f == NULL)
  {
    sprintf(tempstr,"Error occurred when opening the coordinates file.");
    AfxMessageBox(tempstr);
    return;
  }
  
  // start timer  
  if(QueryPerformanceFrequency(&m_frequency))
  {
    if(QueryPerformanceCounter(&m_startValue))
    {
      gottime = true;
    }
  }
  
  

Parsing the Window File, line by line

Now we enter a loop. We will parse a line from the file and, assuming there are no problems in the line, pass the extraction window and request a hires TIFF image to be written to a file. Here is what a proper line should look like:

50,50,550,550 1000,1000 TIFF c:/tmp/GdsData/CawTestOut/0_0.tif

Click here to jump to the location in the code where the QISLIB window is defined and the hi-res tiff is requested.

  // translate to tiff for each line in the coordinates file  
  do
  {
    if (fgets(buff,512,f) == NULL)
      break;
    cp = strrchr(buff,'\n');
    if (cp != NULL)
      *cp = 0;

    cp = strtok(buff," ");
    if (cp != NULL)
    {
      // first parameter is lower left and upper right
      strcpy(llurstr,cp);
    }
    else
      continue; // not enough parameters, skip this line

    cp = strtok(NULL," ");
    if (cp != NULL)
    {
      // second parameter is pixels,pixels, only use width pixels value
      // no support for different DPI for width and height
      // only used for Tiff, not for GDS (but a placeholder number must still exist)
      widthpixels = atoi(cp);
    }
    else
      continue; // not enough parameters, skip this line

    cp = strtok(NULL," ");
    if (cp != NULL)
    {
      // third parameter is GDS or TIFF
      // only supports TIFF for now, so ignore this parameter
      if (stricmp(cp,"tiff") == 0)
        FormatTiffOrGDS = 1;
      else if (stricmp(cp,"gds") == 0)
        FormatTiffOrGDS = 2;
      else
        continue; // unknown, do nothing
    }
    else
      continue; // not enough parameters, skip this line

    cp = strtok(NULL," ");
    if (cp != NULL)
    {
      // fourth parameter is output file name
      strcpy(outputfn,cp);
    }
    else
      continue; // not enough parameters, skip this line


    // get the lower left and upper right coordinates
    cp = strtok(llurstr,",");
    if (cp != NULL)
    {
      llx = atof(cp);
      cp = strtok(NULL,",");
      if (cp != NULL)
      {
        lly = atof(cp);
        cp = strtok(NULL,",");
        if (cp != NULL)
        {
          urx = atof(cp);
          cp = strtok(NULL,",");
          if (cp != NULL)
          {
            ury = atof(cp);
          }
          else
            continue; // not enough parameters, skip this line
        }
        else
          continue; // not enough parameters, skip this line
      }
      else
        continue; // not enough parameters, skip this line
    }
    else
      continue; // not enough parameters, skip this line

    // assuming is that file unit is um
    awidth = urx - llx;
    dpinum = (int)((((double)widthpixels) / (awidth / 25400.0)) + 0.5);


    // translate 1 window
    awin.MinX.UserUnits = llx;
    awin.MinY.UserUnits = lly;
    awin.MaxX.UserUnits = urx;
    awin.MaxY.UserUnits = ury;
	
	
	

Setting Window and Requesting Hi-Res Tiff Image Output

Here we make the actual calls to the library - first to set the window and then to direct QISLIB to produce a high res TIFF output and write it to disk.

    QisLib_SetExactWindow(awin);
    
    if (FormatTiffOrGDS == 1)
      ret = QisLib_GetHiresImage(dpinum,outputfn);
    else if (FormatTiffOrGDS == 2)
      ret = QisLib_GetGDSII(outputfn);

    if (ret != 0)
      someerrors = ret;
    else
      translatedtiffs++;

  } while(1);
  
  

Timing Info

Our loop is completed and the timer that we started just before the loop is stopped. The time in the loop is reported.



  // stop timer  
  if (gottime)
  {
    QueryPerformanceCounter(&m_stopValue);
    pInterval = m_stopValue.QuadPart - m_startValue.QuadPart;
    pInterval = (pInterval*1000)/(m_frequency.QuadPart); // milliseconds

    sprintf(tempstr,"Successfully translated %d TIFF/GDS files in %I64d milliseconds",translatedtiffs,pInterval);
    AfxMessageBox(tempstr);
  }

  fclose(f);

  if (someerrors != 0)
  {
    sprintf(tempstr,"Error occurred when translating 1 or more TIFF/GDS file.  Last error code %d.",someerrors);
    AfxMessageBox(tempstr);
  }
}


Clean Up

Now that we are done with our extractions we close QISLIB.

void CTiffextractDlg::OnCancel() 
{
	// TODO: Add extra cleanup here
	QisLib_CloseLib();

	CDialog::OnCancel();
}

void CTiffextractDlg::OnEnChangeLayeredit()
{
  GetDlgItem(IDC_OPENGDSBUT)->EnableWindow(TRUE);
}
