GENLIB_GET_CON_X.3(October 1, 1997) GENLIB_GET_CON_X.3(October 1, 1997)

NAME

GENLIB_GET_CON_X - retrieve the x coordinate of an instance connector

SYNOPSYS

long GENLIB_GET_CON_X(insname, conname, index)
char ∗insname, ∗conname;
long index;

ORIGIN

This software belongs to the ALLIANCE CAD SYSTEM developed by the ASIM team at LIP6 laboratory of Université Pierre et Marie CURIE, in Paris, France.

PARAMETERS

insname
Name of the instance in the which the connector is to be searched for
conname
Name of the connector
index
Connector index

DESCRIPTION

GET_CON_X looks for the connector, conname, in the instance called insname. Then it computes its absolute coordinates in the figure, and gives back the x coordinate.

RETURN VALUE

The function returns a long int beeing the x position of the connector in the current figure

ERRORS

"GENLIB_GET_CON_X impossible : missing GENLIB_DEF_PHFIG"
No figure has been yet specified by a call to DEF_PHFIG. So it isn't possible to place a connector inside it. you must call DEF_PHFIG before any other layout action.
"illegal getphins : instance called insname does not exist"
No instance called insname exists in the current figure.
"illegal getphcon : connectors conname, index index does not exist"
No connector called conname exists in the model of the instance insname.

EXAMPLE

#include <genlib.h>
main()
{
long x, y;
	/∗ Create a figure to work on  ∗/
	GENLIB_DEF_PHFIG("cell");
	GENLIB_PLACE("gaci0_b", "r1", NOSYM, 23L, 54L);
	/∗ Get a connector ∗/
	x = GENLIB_GET_CON_X("r1", "a", 1);
	.
	.
	GENLIB_PHVIA(x, y, CONT_VIA);
	/∗ Save that on disk ∗/
	GENLIB_SAVE_PHFIG();
}
