FIGMBKRDS(3)						      RDS PHYSICAL FUNCTIONS						      FIGMBKRDS(3)

NAME

	figmbkrds - converts MBK figure to RDS 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.

SYNOPSYS

       #include "rfmnnn.h"
       rdsfig_list *figmbkrds( FigureMbk, Size, Lynx )
	  phfig_list   *FigureMbk;
	  unsigned int	Size;
	  char		Lynx;

PARAMETER

       FigureMbk	   Figure Mbk to convert to RDS figure.

       Size		   Size of the user structure (if it exists) added to the rdsrec_list structure. If the user structure doesn't exist,  the
			   parameter 'Size' has to be set to 0L.

       Lynx		   Flag used for the segment conversion. If the parameter Lynx is set to 0 then this is the normal conversion mode. If the
			   parameter Lynx is set to 1 then the rds structure generated permits to extract equipotentials rectangles.

DESCRIPTION

       The figmbkrds function creates a RDS figure with a figure from MBK structure phfig_list which is converted to RDS format.

RETURN VALUE

       The pointer to the newly created RDS figure.

ERRORS

       "Rds202: rdsalloc error, can't continue !"
	      it's impossible to allocate the memory size desired

EXAMPLE

	       #include "mphnnn.h"
	       #include "mutnnn.h"
	       #include "rdsnnn.h"
	       #include "rfmnnn.h"
	       #include "rtlnnn.h"
	       typedef struct UserStruct
		{
		  char *STRING;
		  void *USER1;
		} UserStruct;
	       main()
		 {
		   phfig_list  *MbkFigure;
		   rdsfig_list *RdsFigure;
		   mbkenv();
		   rdsenv();
		   loadrdsparam();
		   MbkFigure	    = getphfig("na2_y",'A');
		   RdsFigure	    = figmbkrds (MbkFigure,sizeof(UserStruct),0);
		   viewrdsfig ( RdsFigure );
		   . . .
		 }
