Magic VLSI Layout Tool Version 7.3 *

nmbutton


Execute the default function associated with a mouse button event.

Usage:

nmbutton button

where button is one of left, middle, or right.

Summary:

The nmbutton command invokes the function "traditionally" associated with the indicated mouse button. However, in Magic-7.3, button actions are treated as macros, and so the button macros are defined, by default, to call the nmbutton command for the indicated button. The button actions no longer recognize button-up events. The action taken by the command depends on where in the netlist window the button was pressed.

Implementation Notes:

nmbutton is implemented as a built-in netlist window command in magic. It can only be invoked from a window created with the specialopen netlist command.
