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

NAME

GENLIB_PHREF - place a physical reference in the current figure at absolute coordinates

SYNOPSYS

#include <genlib.h>
void GENLIB_PHREF(type, name, x, y)
char ∗type, ∗name;
long x, y;

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

type
Type of the reference to be added
name
Name of the reference
x, y
Absolute coordinates of the reference

DESCRIPTION

PHREF adds a reference in the current layout cell, at the specified coordinates. A reference is an object that allows to symbolicaly name a point for futur use by the designer. They have been mainly used in the past to program decoders, in order to obtain many cells from a unique cell.
The type argument may take the two following legal values:
ref_con
for virtual connectors, see dpr(1) for details.
ref_ref
for any other need from the designer.

ERRORS

"GENLIB_PHREF 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 reference inside it. you must call DEF_PHFIG before any other layout action.

EXAMPLE

#include <genlib.h>
main()
{
	/∗ Create a figure to work on  ∗/
	GENLIB_DEF_PHFIG("cell");
	.
	/∗ Put a reference ∗/
	GENLIB_PHREF("ref_con", "in_a[0]", 102L, 10L);
	.
	.
	GENLIB_DEF_AB(0L, 0L, 0L, 0L);
	/∗ Save that on disk ∗/
	GENLIB_SAVE_PHFIG();
}
