NAME

       GENLIB_FLATTEN_PHFIG - flatten an instance in the current layout figure

SYNOPSYS

       #include <genlib.h>
       void GENLIB_FLATTEN_PHFIG(insname,concat)
       char *insname;
       char concat;

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.

PARAMETERS

       insname		   Name of the instance to be flattened

       concat		   Indicate whether or not to concatenate instance name to instance' objects name

DESCRIPTION

       FLATTEN_PHFIG inserts the contents of an instance, but its connectors, in the current figure, and then destroys the instance.
       The concat parameter may take two values:

       YES		   to concatenate object name with instance names.

       NO		   to copy object names.

       In most case, the concat value must be YES, in order to warranty the unicity of names in the figure.  It may otherwise  fail,  because  the
       function would try to add in the current figure some object with an already existing name.

EXAMPLE

       #include <genlib.h>
       main()
       {
	    /* Create a figure to work on  */
	    GENLIB_DEF_PHFIG("mycell");
	    .
	    .
	    .
	    /* Place an instance */
	    GENLIB_PLACE("model","instance", SYM_X, 0, 0);
	    /* flatten an instance */
	    GENLIB_FLATTEN_PHFIG("instance", YES);
	    /* Save all that on disk */
	    GENLIB_SAVE_PHFIG();
       }
