NAME

       GENLIB_SAVE_PHSC - save a layout on disk

SYNOPSYS

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

ORIGIN

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

DESCRIPTION

       SAVE_PHSC saves the current working figure previously definded by a DEF_PHFIG or DEF_PHSC call, and performs a DEF_AB(0L, 0L, 0L, 0L)  just
       before  saving  the  figure,  in  order	to give it the appropriate size for standard cell blocks.  SAVE_PHSC uses environment variables to
       choose the file format and the path to the file.
       No check is made to see if a file with the same name already exists on disk, so be careful not to overwrite some precious data.

ERROR

       "GENLIB_SAVE_PHSC impossible : missing GENLIB_DEF_PHFIG"
	      No figure has been yet specified by a call to DEF_PHFIG or DEF_PHSC. 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 physical figure to work on */
	    GENLIB_DEF_PHSC("cell");
	    /* Place an instance */
	    GENLIB_SC_PLACE("finst", NOSYM,0L,0L);
	    /* Save all that on disk */
	    GENLIB_SAVE_PHSC();
       }
