NAME

       GENLIB_PLACE_ON - place a physical instance in the current figure matching connectors

SYNOPSYS

       #include <genlib.h>
       void GENLIB_PLACE_ON(figname,ins1,con1,index1,symetry,ins2,con2,index2)
       char *figname, *ins1, *con1, *ins2, *con2;
       char symetry;
       long index1, index2;

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

       figname		   Name of the layout figure to be instanciated

       ins1		   Name to be given to the instance in the model

       con1		   Name of the connector of the instance to be used for placement

       index1		   Index of the connector, or reference, con1 of the model to be used for placement

       symetry		   Geometrical operation to be performed on the instance before beeing placed

       ins2		   Name of the instance to be used for relative placement

       con2		   Name of the connector of the instance ins2 on which the placement will take place

       index2		   Index of the connector con2 of the instance to be used for relative placement

DESCRIPTION

       PLACE_ON add an instance in the current layout cell. The bottom left corner of the instance of the model modelname is placed, after  beeing
       symetrized and/or rotated, at (x, y) coordinates.  The placed instance becomes the new "reference instance", used in the relative placement
       functions.
       The insname is the name given to the instance and must be unique at a given hierarchy level.
       The symetry argument can take eight legal values :

       NOSYM		   no geometrical operation is performed

       SYM_Y		   Y becomes -Y, that means toward X axe symetry

       SYM_X		   X becomes -X, that means toward Y axe symetry

       SYMXY		   X becomes -X, Y becomes -Y

       ROT_P		   a positive 90 degrees rotation take place

       ROT_M		   a negative 90 degrees rotation take place

       SY_RP		   Y becomes -Y, and then a positive 90 degrees rotation take place

       SY_RM		   Y becomes -Y, and then a negative 90 degrees rotation take place

       The model of the figure to be placed must be available, on disk or in memory.  The path to the library is specified in the MBK_CATA_LIB (1)
       and MBK_WORK_LIB (1) environment variables, and its format is given by the MBK_IN_PH (1) environment variable.

ERRORS

       "GENLIB_PLACE_ON impossible : missing GENLIB_DEF_PHFIG"
	      No  figure  has  been  yet  specified  by  a  call to DEF_PHFIG. So it isn't possible to place an instance inside it.  you must call
	      DEF_PHFIG before any other layout action.
       "illegal addphins : transformation is x in insname"
	      The symetry parameter is not one of the define given, but has the integer value x.

EXAMPLE

       #include <genlib.h>
       main()
       {
	    /* Create a figure to work on  */
	    GENLIB_DEF_PHFIG("cell");
	    /* Place two instances */
	    GENLIB_PLACE_ON("gapg0_b","ins1", NOSYM, 0L, 0L);
	    GENLIB_PLACE_ON("gapg8_b","ins2", SYM_X, 80L, 100L);
	    /* Save all that on disk */
	    GENLIB_SAVE_PHFIG();
       }
