Hello,
how do I find out via script which size the element in a cell has? For example, I have a star made by the schematic library. That star is created in a cell and I want to create an array of the stars but this depends on the size of the bounding box of the star itself. I was checking the members of the element and cell but I couldn't find anything suitable. Could you help me with that?
Thanks a lot!

Hi David,
there is a minimum and maximum method for a cell. So the size is its difference:
```
cell *c=layout->drawing->currentCell; // the size of the current cell is checked
point min=c->minimum();
point max=c->maximum();
int sizeX=max.x()-min.x();
int sizeY=max.y()-min.y();
```
