GENLIB_PHREF(1) place a physical reference in the current figure at absolute

SYNOPSYS

#include <genlib.h>
void GENLIB_PHREF(type, name, x, y)
char *type, *name;
long x, y;
man2html: unable to open or read file man1/alc_origin.1

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();
}
