NAME

GENLIB_SAVE_PHFIG - save a layout on disk

SYNOPSYS

#include <genlib.h>
void GENLIB_SAVE_PHFIG();

DESCRIPTION

SAVE_PHFIG saves the current working figure previously definded by a DEF_PHFIG call. SAVE_PHFIG uses environment variables to choose the file format and the path to the file.
MBK_OUT_PH set up the output file format, the valid ones beeing :

: cp
ap

you could for example do :

: setenv MBK_OUT_PH ap

MBK_WORK_LIB set up the output file path. Any valid unix path is ok.
for example :

: setenv MBK_WORK_LIB ~fred/booth/genlib

SAVE_PHFIG doesn't look on disk for the figure cellname, so be careful not to overwrite an existing file while saving.

ERROR

"GENLIB_SAVE_PHFIG impossible : missing GENLIB_DEF_PHFIG"

: No figure has been yet specified by a call to DEF_PHFIG. So it isn't possible to save anything. you must call DEF_PHFIG before any other layout action.

EXAMPLE

#include <genlib.h>
main()
{
        /* Create a figure to work on  */
        GENLIB_DEF_PHFIG("mycell");
        /* Place an instance */
        GENLIB_PLACE("mymodel","firstinstance", NOSYM,0L,0L);
        /* Save all that on disk */
        GENLIB_SAVE_PHFIG();
}
