Error in cell.fill_region #134

In a Ruby script I am running, I use the fill_region function to add tiling. I have now encountered a problematic file that generates the following error in KLayout v0.25.3:
Internal error: ../../../src/db/db/dbPolygonGenerators.cc:303 m_open.emtpy () was not true in Cell:fill_region

The fill_region command runs sucessfully in v0.24.8

Required files for reproducing the issue:
Files.zip

Includes the export script, the fill cell, and the problematic cell.

Thanks a lot for the test case. I will look into this.

Hi,

I'm able to reproduce this issue and isolate the internal data which cause this error. Internal a big polygon with zero-width spikes is generated. I assume due to some implicit normalization these got deleted in 0.24.x.

I'll try to provide a fix this this. I'm afraid there is no simple workaround currently except using 0.24.

Best regards,

Matthias

Fixed #134
23842be 
The issue was caused by an internal error in the edge processor.
Effectively the weak attractor scheme was causing this problem.
As the weak attractors are making things worse rather than
better I dropped them.

In theory, the weak attractors render an edge undisturbed by
neighboring intersection points, but in cases or parallel edges
this lead to problems: omitting cut points violates the output
edge configuration warranties the the polygon stitcher fails.

In addition, to maintain the solution for bug #74, the cut point
capture condition was relaxed, so that edge crossing the exact
corner of the snapping rectangle of a point are not considered
captured.

Hi Emil,

GitHub automatically closed this issue when I committed ... :-)

I am able to fix the problem and will release this with the next minor release. It will take a little as I try to collect a few commits before I release.

Thanks,

Matthias

* Bugfix: 8 bit indexed GIF images can be used for package icons now
* Enhancement: Provide a way to specify the type of a macro
       This feature is mainly useful for command line arguments.
       If you run KLayout with "klayout -b -r myscript"
       it will not be able to determine the type of macro without
       a suffix.

       You can now explicitly specify a certain type by
       giving the suffix implicitly like: "klayout -b -r myscript[rb]"
       This will read "myscript" but pretend it was "myscript.rb"
       and execute it as Ruby script.

       This feature is handy if you need to run a file with a
       specific interpreter but cannot modify the file name.
* Enhancement: Selection now shows PCell display names
       Before, the internal name was shown for instances
* Enhancement: There is an option in the View menu to show or hide markers
       Markers may hide layout under them. With this feature you can
       quickly disable all markers and the layout becomes visible.
