NAME
       loadrdsfig - give back a pointer to a figure

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.

SYNOPSYS
       #include "rtlnnn.h"
	void loadrdsfig( Figure, Name, Mode )
	   rdsfig_list *Figure;
	   char        *Name;
	   char 	Mode;

PARAMETER
       Figure		   Pointer to the RDS Figure created.

       Name		   Name of the model of the figure.

       MODE :		   Caracter indicating the status of the figure in memory.

       This field can take three values :

	      'A'    All the cell is loaded in ram (The figure, its rectangles and its instances empty).

	      'P'    Only information concerning the model interface is present, that means : connectors, the abutment box and through	routes	of
		     the figure.

	      'V'    Visualization mode : all is loaded in RAM : The figure, its rectangles, its instances and the rectangles of its instances.

DESCRIPTION
       The loadrdsfig function loads in memory a cell model from disk. The loadrdsfig function in fact performs a call to a  parser ,chosen by the
       RDS_IN environment variable.

RETURN VALUE
       The pointer to the created figure. (it's the parameter 'Figure' of the loadrdsfig function).

ERRORS
       "Rtl103.h: Unknown rds input format"
	      The input format defined by the unix environment variable RDS_IN is not supported by the driver (supported  formats  are	"cif"  and
	      "gds").

	      Other errors can appear because the loadrdsfig function calls cif and gds parsers.

EXAMPLE
	       #include "mutnnn.h"
	       #include "rdsnnn.h"
	       #include "rtlnnn.h"
	       main()
		{
		  rdsfig_list *RdsFigure;
		  mbkenv();
		  rdsenv();
		  loadrdsparam();
		  /* */ loadrdsfig (RdsFigure, "core", 'A');
		  viewrdsfig( Figure );
		}
