NAME

       GENLIB_SAVE_PHFIG - save a layout on disk

SYNOPSYS

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

ORIGIN

DESCRIPTION

       SAVE_PHFIG saves the current working figure previously definded by a DEF_PHFIG call. SAVE_PHFIG uses environment variables  to  choose  the
       file format and the path to the file.
       MBK_OUT_PH set up the output file format, the valid ones beeing :
	      cp
	      ap
       you could for example do :
	      setenv MBK_OUT_PH ap
       MBK_WORK_LIB set up the output file path. Any valid unix path is ok.
       for example :
		   setenv MBK_WORK_LIB ~fred/booth/genlib
       SAVE_PHFIG doesn't look on disk for the figure cellname, so be careful not to overwrite an existing file while saving.

ERROR

       "GENLIB_SAVE_PHFIG impossible : missing GENLIB_DEF_PHFIG"
	      No  figure  has been yet specified by a call to DEF_PHFIG. 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 figure to work on  */
	    GENLIB_DEF_PHFIG("mycell");
	    /* Place an instance */
	    GENLIB_PLACE("mymodel","firstinstance", NOSYM,0L,0L);
	    /* Save all that on disk */
	    GENLIB_SAVE_PHFIG();
       }
