Properties of Rectangle and Label

Hi Everyone ^^ ,

I'm a NEW USER of SKILL code. At the moment, I'm writing a layout
generator using SKILL. I have the following question:

I know I can use function leSearchHierarchy to put instances,
rectangles, label and whatever into a list. And I can get some
information/properties of instances by using function
geInstIdToFileSpec and geGetInstTransform. But how about rectangles
and labels? Is there any functions that can get properties of them,
e.g. text, origin x & y, rotation, bounding box, etc ??

I would be very grateful if anyone of you could answer me this
question ^.^

You can access every attribute of a database object with the

e.g.
dbObject = car( geGetSelSet( ) )
