SYNOPSYS

       #include "mut.h"
       ptype_list *getptype(pthead,type)
       ptype_list *pthead;
       long type;

PARAMETERS

       pthead		   Pointer to a ptype list

       type		   Flag indicating the pointer owner

DESCRIPTION

       getptype looks for a ptype element in the list pointed to by pthead.

RETURN VALUE

       getptype returns a pointer to the ptype that match the type.  Be careful, it is not the ptype->DATA that is returned.  If no ptype has  the
       given type, then NULL is returned.

EXAMPLE

       #include "mut.h"
       #include "mph.h"
       void get_corner(ptfig, name, x2, y2)
       phfig_list *ptfig;
       char *name;
       int *x2, *y2;
       {
       phins_list *i = getphins(ptfig, name);
       ptype_list *p = getptype(i->USER, (long)PLACEABOX);
	  *x2 = (num_list *)(p->DATA)->DATA;
	  *y2 = (num_list *)(p->DATA)->NEXT->DATA;
       }
