SYNOPSYS

       #include "mlu.h"
       void savelofig(ptfig)
       lofig_list *ptfig;

PARAMETER

       ptfig		   Pointer to the lofig to be written on disk

DESCRIPTION

       savelofig writes on disk the contents of the figure pointer to by ptfig. All the figure lists are ran through, and the appropriate  objects
       written, independently of the figure mode.
       The  savelofig  function in fact performs a call to a driver, choosen by the MBK_OUT_LO(1) environment variable. The directory in which the
       file is to be written is the one set by MBK_WORK_LIB(1).  See MBK_OUT_LO(1), MBK_WORK_LIB(1) and mbkenv(3) for details.

ERRORS

       "*** mbk error *** not supported logical output format 'xxx'"
	      The environment variable MBK_OUT_LO is not set to a legal logical format.
       "*** mbk error *** savelofig : could not open file figname.ext"
	      Either the directory or the file are write protected, so it's not possible to open figname.ext, where ext is the file format  exten-
	      sion, for writting.

EXAMPLE

       #include "mlu.h"
       void save_na2_y()
       {
	  savelofig(getlofig("na2_y"));
       }
