.SH DESCRIPTION
\fBSAVE_PHFIG\fP saves the current working figure previously definded by
a \fBDEF_PHFIG\fP call. \fBSAVE_PHFIG\fP uses environment variables to
choose the file format and the path to the file.
.br
\fBMBK_OUT_PH\fP set up the output file format, the valid ones beeing :
.RS
\fBcp
.br
ap\fP
.RE
you could for example do :
.RS
\fBsetenv MBK_OUT_PH ap\fP
.RE
\fBMBK_WORK_LIB\fP set up the output file path. Any valid unix path is
ok.
.br
for example :
.RS
	\fBsetenv MBK_WORK_LIB ~fred/booth/genlib\fP
.RE
\fBSAVE_PHFIG\fP doesn't look on disk for the figure \fIcellname\fP, 
so be careful not to overwrite an existing file while saving.
.SH ERROR
.if n \{\
.ft B \}
.if t \{\
.ft CR \}
"GENLIB_SAVE_PHFIG impossible : missing GENLIB_DEF_PHFIG"
.ft R
.RS
No figure has been yet specified by a call to \fBDEF_PHFIG\fP. So it isn't
possible to save anything. you must call \fBDEF_PHFIG\fP before any other
layout action.
