Just no tutorials on how to do this simple thing

Hi,

I try to write a plugin that creates a line but I get errors

Start(… needs VECTOR2 and I cannot give it what it want

any help from a script guru ?

thanks

line = pcbnew.PCB_SHAPE(board)

start_point = pcbnew.wxPoint(int(x * 1e6), int(0))
end_point = pcbnew.wxPoint(int(x * 1e6), int(100 * 1e6))

line.SetStart(start_point)
line.SetEnd(end_point)

@eelik

VECTOR2I

thanks, it was so simple

btw I cannot set the layer to user 9 or user9

any idea how to achieve this?

line.SetLayer(pcbnew.User.9)
