SYNOPSYS

       #include "mph.h"
       phvia_list *addphvia(ptfig, viatype, x, y)
       phfig_list *ptfig;
       char viatype;
       long x, y;

PARAMETERS

       ptfig		   Pointer to the figure in which the via should be added

       viatype		   Contact type

       x, y		   Coordinates of the center of the via.

DESCRIPTION

       addphvia creates a new via whose center is at the given coordinates, and adds it to the list of vias pointed to by  ptfig->PHVIA.  The  new
       via is added in front of the list, and becomes itself the list head.
       The parameters viatype, x and y fill respectivly the TYPE, XVIA and YVIA fields of the phvia structure.
       For a list of valid viatypes, and details on the structure, see phvia(3).

RETURN VALUE

       addphvia returns a pointer to the newly created via.

ERRORS

       "*** mbk error *** illegal addphvia viatype : viatype at x, y"
	      The via type is not a predefined contact. For a list of legal via types, see phvia(3).

EXAMPLE

       #include "mph.h"
       phvia_list *via_dup(pfd, pfs) /* duplicate vias */
       phfig_list *pfd, *pfs;
       {
       phvia_list *pv;
	  for (pv = pfs->phvia; pv != NULL; pv = pv->NEXT)
	     addphvia(pfd, pv->TYPE, ps->XVIA, ps->YVIA);
	  return pfd->PHVIA;
       }
