NAME

       GENLIB_PHVIA - place a physical via in the current figure at absolute coordinates

SYNOPSYS

       #include <genlib.h>
       void GENLIB_PHVIA(type, x, y)
       char type;
       long x, y;

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

       type		   Type of the contact to be made

       x, y		   Absolute coordinates of the via

DESCRIPTION

       PHVIA adds a via in the current layout cell, at the specified coordinates.  The type argument may take the following legal values:

       CONT_POLY	   links POLY and ALU1

       CONT_DIF_N	   links NDIF and ALU1

       CONT_DIF_P	   links PDIF and ALU1

       CONT_BODY_N	   links NTIE and ALU1

       CONT_BODY_P	   links PTIE and ALU1

       CONT_VIA 	   links ALU1 and ALU2

       CONT_VIA2	   links ALU2 and ALU3

       C_X_N		   corner for L-shaped (and S-shaped) N transistor

       C_X_P		   corner for L-shaped (and S-shaped) P transistor

ERRORS

       "GENLIB_PHVIA 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 via inside it.	you  must  call  DEF_PHFIG
	      before any other layout action.
       "illegal addphvia : type is XX  at x, y"
	      The type parameter does not have a legal value, but XX.

EXAMPLE

       #include <genlib.h>
       main()
       {
	    /* Create a figure to work on  */
	    GENLIB_DEF_PHFIG("cell");
	    .
	    /* Put a via */
	    GENLIB_PHVIA(CONT_VIA, 12L, 10L);
	    .
	    .
	    GENLIB_DEF_AB(0L, 0L, 0L, 0L);
	    /* Save that on disk */
	    GENLIB_SAVE_PHFIG();
       }
