Thanks a lot, but in my case, the (x)chiplogo crashed after generating the .mag or .cif file in Linux. at the Solaris, it works well, thank you very much.
BTW , you don't have to generate the .mag for magic, you can directly generate the .cif format data for any layout editor, such as Panda2000(my home layout editor), Virtuso.

Thank you

Can someone tell me more about GDSII format. I read it somewhere that hard macros are provided in this format.

using matlab

[X,map]=bmpread(bitmapfile);
the matrix X is just the 3 rgb color matrix
you can change them to bin or hex whatever you want

There is a tool called bmp2gds available at www.semigy.com. It can convert a number of bitmap format to gdsii. You can view the gdsii output before saving to a file. A free demo is available.
