DESCRIPTION
SAVE_PHFIG saves the current working figure previously definded by a DEF_PHFIG call. SAVE_PHFIG uses environment variables to choose the
file format and the path to the file.
MBK_OUT_PH set up the output file format, the valid ones beeing :
cp
ap
you could for example do :
setenv MBK_OUT_PH ap
MBK_WORK_LIB set up the output file path. Any valid unix path is ok.
for example :
setenv MBK_WORK_LIB ~fred/booth/genlib
SAVE_PHFIG doesn't look on disk for the figure cellname, so be careful not to overwrite an existing file while saving.
ERROR
"GENLIB_SAVE_PHFIG impossible : missing GENLIB_DEF_PHFIG"
No figure has been yet specified by a call to DEF_PHFIG. So it isn't possible to save anything. you must call DEF_PHFIG before any
other layout action.
EXAMPLE
#include <genlib.h>
main()
{
/* Create a figure to work on */
GENLIB_DEF_PHFIG("mycell");
/* Place an instance */
GENLIB_PLACE("mymodel","firstinstance", NOSYM,0L,0L);
/* Save all that on disk */
GENLIB_SAVE_PHFIG();
}
