NAME

       GENLIB_GET_CON_X - retrieve the x coordinate of an instance connector

SYNOPSYS

       long GENLIB_GET_CON_X(insname, conname, index)
       char *insname, *conname;
       long index;

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

       insname		   Name of the instance in the which the connector is to be searched for

       conname		   Name of the connector

       index		   Connector index

DESCRIPTION

       GET_CON_X looks for the connector, conname, in the instance called insname.  Then it computes its absolute coordinates in the  figure,  and
       gives back the x coordinate.

RETURN VALUE

       The function returns a long int beeing the x position of the connector in the current figure

ERRORS

       "GENLIB_GET_CON_X impossible : missing GENLIB_DEF_PHFIG"
	      No  figure  has  been  yet  specified  by  a  call to DEF_PHFIG. So it isn't possible to place a connector inside it.  you must call
	      DEF_PHFIG before any other layout action.
       "illegal getphins : instance called insname does not exist"
	      No instance called insname exists in the current figure.
       "illegal getphcon : connectors conname, index index does not exist"
	      No connector called conname exists in the model of the instance insname.

EXAMPLE

       #include <genlib.h>
       main()
       {
       long x, y;
	    /* Create a figure to work on  */
	    GENLIB_DEF_PHFIG("cell");
	    GENLIB_PLACE("gaci0_b", "r1", NOSYM, 23L, 54L);
	    /* Get a connector */
	    x = GENLIB_GET_CON_X("r1", "a", 1);
	    .
	    .
	    GENLIB_PHVIA(x, y, CONT_VIA);
	    /* Save that on disk */
	    GENLIB_SAVE_PHFIG();
       }
