SAVEPHFIG(3)						  MBK PHYSICAL UTILITY FUNCTIONS					      SAVEPHFIG(3)

NAME
       savephfig - save a physical figure on disk

SYNOPSYS
       #include "mpu.h"
       void savephfig(ptfig)
       phfig_list *ptfig;

PARAMETER
       ptfig		   Pointer to the phfig to write on disk

DESCRIPTION
       savephfig 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  savephfig  function in fact performs a call to a driver, choosen by the MBK_OUT_PH(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_PH(1), MBK_WORK_LIB(1) and mbkenv(3) for details.

ERRORS
       "*** mbk error *** not supported physical output format 'xxx'"
	      The environment variable MBK_OUT_PH is not set to a legal physical format.
       "*** mbk error *** savephfig : 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 "mpu.h"
       void save_na2_y()
       {
	  savephfig(getphfig("na2_y"));
       }
