FREERDSFIG(3)						      RDS PHYSICAL FUNCTIONS						     FREERDSFIG(3)

NAME

	freerdsfig - frees memory associated to a figure

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.

       Web : http://asim.lip6.fr/recherche/alliance/
       E-mail : alliance-users@asim.lip6.fr

SYNOPSYS

       #include "rdsnnn.h"
       void freerdsfig( Figure )
	 rdsfig_list *Figure;

PARAMETER

       Figure		   it's the pointer of the figure to be deleted.

DESCRIPTION

       This function free the memory associated to the figure. Memory place used by the Pointers of the rdsfig_list structure is not free  so  the
       user has to free these pointers before calling the freerdsfig function.

RETURN VALUE

       nothing

ERRORS

       none

EXAMPLE

       #include "mutnnn.h"
       #include "rdsnnn.h"
       #include "rtlnnn.h"
	      main()
	       {
		 rdsfig_list *Figure;
		      mbkenv();
		      rdsenv();
		      loadrdsparam();
		 Figure = allocrdsfig ();
		 Figure->NAME = rdsalloc(strlen("core")+1,RDS_ALLOC_BLOCK);
		 strcpy(Figure->NAME,"core");
		 ...
		 rdsfree    (Figure->NAME,RDS_ALLOC_BLOCK);
		 /* */ freerdsfig ( Figure,RDS_ALLOC_BLOCK);
	       }
