UL_ATTRIBUTE

Data members

See also UL_DEVICE, UL_PART, UL_INSTANCE, UL_ELEMENT.

Constants

A UL_ATTRIBUTE can be used to access the attributes that have been defined in the library for a device, or assigned to a part in the schematic or board.

Notes

display contains a bitwise or'ed value consisting of ATTRIBUTE_DISPLAY_FLAG_... and defines which parts of the attribute are actually drawn. This value is only valid if display is used in a UL_INSTANCE or UL_ELEMENT context. In a UL_ELEMENT context constant only returns an actual value if f/b annotation is active, otherwise it returns 0.

The defaultvalue member returns the value as defined in the library (if different from the actual value, otherwise the same as value). In a UL_ELEMENT context defaultvalue only returns an actual value if f/b annotation is active, otherwise an empty string is returned.

The text member is only available in a UL_INSTANCE or UL_ELEMENT context and returns a UL_TEXT object that contains all the text parameters. The value of this text object is the string as it will be displayed according to the UL_ATTRIBUTE's 'display' parameter. If called from a different context, the data of the returned UL_TEXT object is undefined.

For global attributes only name and value are defined.

Example

schematic(SCH) {
  SCH.parts(P) {
    P.attributes(A) {
      printf("%s = %s\n", A.name, A.value);
      }
    }
  }
schematic(SCH) {
  SCH.attributes(A) { // global attributes
    printf("%s = %s\n", A.name, A.value);
    }
  }
