get_report_panel_id
Usage
get_report_panel_id <name>
Options
<name>: Name of panel for which to get id
Description
Gets the id of a panel with the specified name.
The panel id is a non-negative integer for an existing panel. If the specified panel cannot be found, the id is
-1.
Using the panel id provides faster data access than using the panel name.
You can use the "get_report_panel_id" command to check for the existence of a panel.(Refer to the example
under the "get_report_panel_id" command.)
Panel ids that you have cached may become outdated or invalid if the report is unloaded or reloaded. This
error occurs after compilation or with calls to the "project_close", "unload_report", and "load_report"
commands.
Panel names support wildcards.
The table of contents portion of the Compilation Report window shows short panel names for better
readability. However, the panel name used by this command is the full panel name as shown in the
right-hand side frame of the Compilation Report window or the .rpt file of the corresponding
command-line executable. For example, the table of contents shows the path "Analysis &
Synthesis||Summary". However, the corresponding full path used by this Tcl command is "Analysis &
Synthesis||Analysis & Synthesis Summary".
Example
load_package report
project_open chiptrip
load_report
# Set panel name
set panel {Fitter||Fitter Settings}
# Get the panel id
set id [get_report_panel_id $panel]
if {$id != -1} {
# If panel exists, add a row to it
add_row_to_table -id $id {{New Field} Yes No}
# Save the changes to the report database
save_report_database
} else {
# Otherwise print an error message
puts "Error: Table $panel does not exist."
}
