Perl routine to generate Calibre run set for power/ground/net extraction

• PGCheck.zip

Three key source files in this archive:

File pgcheck.pl contains the Perl source code, to combine the contents in file pwrtmp.cal and the file setting.txt to generate the file output pgcheck.cal

To use the script,

   pgcheck.pl setting.txt[Enter]

The file "pgcheck.cal" will be generated.

   calibre -drc pgcheck.cal[Enter]

PowerPoint Macro to set width and X-offset of a Text Box

Sub SetTextBoxWidth()
'
'
    With ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRange
        .Fill.Transparency = 0#
        .Width = 668.75
        .Left = 25.5
    End With
End Sub

"Width = 668.75" corresponds to 23.6 cm, and "Left = 25.5" corresponds to 0.9 cm. 
One centimeter is equivalent to approximately 28.333333.

Special characters in VIM

It is possible to enter any character (which can be displayed in your current 'encoding'), even a character for which no digraph is defined, if you know the character value, as follows (where ^V means "hit Ctrl-V, except if you use Ctrl-V to paste, in which case you should hit Ctrl-Q instead):

• By decimal value: ^Vnnn (with 000 <= nnn <= 255)
• By octal value: ^VOnnn or ^Vonnn (with 000 <= nnn <= 377)
• By hex value: ^VXnn or ^Vxnn (with 00 <= nn <= FF)
• By hex value for BMP Unicode codepoints: ^Vunnnn (with 0000 <= nnnn <= FFFF)
• By hex value for any Unicode codepoint: ^VUnnnnnnnn (with 00000000 <= nnnnnnnn <= 7FFFFFFF)

Notes

1. In all cases, initial zeros may be omitted if the next character typed is not a digit in the given base (except, of course, that the value zero must be entered as at least one zero).
2. Hex digits A-F, when used, can be typed in upper or lower case, or even in any mixture of them.
