.SH PARAMETER
.TP 20
\fIptfig\fP
Pointer to the \fIlofig\fP to be written on disk
.SH DESCRIPTION
\fBsavelofig\fP writes on disk the contents of the figure pointer to by 
\fIptfig\fP. All the figure lists are ran through, and the appropriate objects
written, independently of the figure \fImode\fP. 
.br
The \fBsavelofig\fP function in fact performs a call to a driver, choosen
by the \fBMBK_OUT_LO\fP(1) environment variable. The directory in which the file
is to be written is the one set by \fBMBK_WORK_LIB\fP(1).
See \fBMBK_OUT_LO\fP(1), \fBMBK_WORK_LIB\fP(1) and
\fBmbkenv\fP(3) for details.
.SH ERRORS
.if n \{\
.ft B \}
.if t \{\
.ft CR \}
"\(**\(**\(** mbk error \(**\(**\(** not supported logical output format 'xxx'"
.ft R
.RS
The environment variable \fIMBK_OUT_LO\fP is not set to a legal logical
format.
.RE
.if n \{\
.ft B \}
.if t \{\
.ft CR \}
"\(**\(**\(** mbk error \(**\(**\(** savelofig : could not open file \fIfigname.ext\fP"
.ft R
.RS
Either the directory or the file are write protected, so it's not possible to
open \fIfigname.ext\fP, where \fIext\fP is the file format extension, for 
writting.
