NAME

       rflattenphfig - recursivly flatten a figure

       Paris, France.

SYNOPSYS

       #include "mph.h"
       void rflattenphfig(ptfig, concat, catal)
       phfig_list *ptfig;
       char concat;
       char catal;

PARAMETERS

       ptfig		   Pointer to a physical figure

       concat		   Name generation mode

       catal		   End level choice

DESCRIPTION

       rflattenphfig recursivly flattens all the instances of the figure pointed to by ptfig.
       The concat argument can take either the value YES in which case the name of the objects comming from instances are named  insname'X'object-
       name, where 'X' is the caracter set int the MBK_SEPAR(1) environment variable, or the value NO, and then the object name remains inchanged.
       This is quite dangerous since name unicity is no more warrantied, and may cause the flatten to fail. See MBK_SEPAR(1), mbkenv(3)  and  con-
       catname(3) for details.
       The  catal  argument may be set to NO, in which case flattening stops at the transistor level, all hierachies and instances have desapeard,
       only terminal elements remains. If set to YES, flattening stops when it encounters an instance model beeing present in  the  catalog  file,
       set by the MBK_CATAL_NAME(1) environment variable. See MBK_CATAL_NAME(1) and incatalog(3) for details.

ERRORS

       No  errors  can	directly  result from a call to rflattenphfig, but since it uses many other mbk functions, it may be a good error starting
       point.

EXAMPLE

       #include "mph.h"
       void flatten_my_amd2901()
       {
       phins_list *pt;
	  pt = getphfig("my_amd2901", 'A');
	  rflattenphfig(pt, YES, YES);
	  pt->NAME = "my_flattened_amd2901";
	  savephfig(pt);
       }
