when I am trying to turn on the grid lines I am getting my grid lines like this can anyone tell me how to resolve it I tried re installing it but it still exist

Wow, never seen that one before. What graphics package are you running? Try all three alternatives (

-d OGL

,

-d XR

,

-d X11

) (where X11 is the default). What you're seeing is probably a graphics library implementation issue.

@Tim Edwards So I am not the only unfortunate getting bug reports with strange graphic behaviours. This one takes it to another level. Can not imagine what causes this . May be a x1,y1,x2,y2 parameter ordering or little/big endian data mismatch or some non unit matrix transform in the graphic pipeline, or simply "something is broken in the GPU or graphic lib"...

@Tim Edwards

-d OGL

&

-d XR

are working fine, the issue is with the

-d X11

is there any way to change the default graphics package to any of the above working one?

@Sudeep Gopavaram: I just bundle it into an alias anyway; my login script has

alias magicsky 'magic -d OGL -rcfile /usr/share/pdk/sky130A/libs.tech/magic/sky130A.magicrc'

I acknowledge that there needs to be a way to actively switch between graphics formats, although I've never looked into it.
