NAME
       GENLIB_PHREF - place a physical reference in the current figure at absolute coordinates

SYNOPSYS
       #include <genlib.h>
       void GENLIB_PHREF(type, name, x, y)
       char *type, *name;
       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 reference to be added

       name		   Name of the reference

       x, y		   Absolute coordinates of the reference

DESCRIPTION
       PHREF adds a reference in the current layout cell, at the specified coordinates.  A reference is an object that allows to symbolicaly  name
       a  point  for  futur use by the designer.  They have been mainly used in the past to program decoders, in order to obtain many cells from a
       unique cell.

       The type argument may take the two following legal values:

       ref_con		   for virtual connectors, see dpr(1) for details.

       ref_ref		   for any other need from the designer.

ERRORS
       "GENLIB_PHREF 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  reference  inside  it.   you	must  call
	      DEF_PHFIG before any other layout action.

EXAMPLE
       #include <genlib.h>
       main()
       {
	    /* Create a figure to work on  */
	    GENLIB_DEF_PHFIG("cell");
	    .
	    /* Put a reference */
	    GENLIB_PHREF("ref_con", "in_a[0]", 102L, 10L);
	    .
	    .
	    GENLIB_DEF_AB(0L, 0L, 0L, 0L);
	    /* Save that on disk */
	    GENLIB_SAVE_PHFIG();
       }
