NAME
       GENLIB_DEF_LOFIG - open a netlist model as current figure

SYNOPSYS
       #include <genlib.h>
       void GENLIB_DEF_LOFIG(cellname)
       char *cellname;

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.

PARAMETERS
       cellname 	   Name of the cell which all futher calls to genlib logical functions will work on

DESCRIPTION
       DEF_LOFIG defines the current working structural figure by it's name, the cellname argument. It can be use anywhere in the genlib  program,
       but must appear at least once at the top of it, since it also initalize the user's preferences through environment variables.
       If  the	figure	called	cellname doesn't exists in memory, it is created.  If it already exists in memory, it makes it the current working
       figure.	DEF_LOFIG doesn't look on disk for the figure cellname, so be careful not to overwrite an existing file while saving later on.

EXAMPLE
       #include <genlib.h>
       main()
       {
	    /* Create a figure to work on  */
	    GENLIB_DEF_LOFIG("cell");
	    /* Place an instance */
	    GENLIB_LOINS("model","instance", "sig1", "sig2", "sig3", "vdd", "vss", EOL);
	    /* Save all that on disk */
	    GENLIB_SAVE_LOFIG();
       }
