NAME

6       phins - mbk physical instance
7

DESCRIPTION

9       The  phins structure is used to describe a instance belonging to a sym‐
10       bolic layout model, see phfig(3) for details.
11
12       The declarations needed to work on phins are available  in  the  header
13       file "/labo/include/mph402.h", where '402' is the actual mbk version.
14
15       The following C structure supports the description of the instance :
16              typedef struct phins {
17                 struct phins     ∗NEXT;
18                 char             ∗INSNAME;
19                 char             ∗FIGNAME;
20                 long             XINS,YINS;
21                 char             TRANSF;
22                 struct ptype     ∗USER;
23              } phins_list;
24
25       NEXT                Pointer to the next instance in the list.
26
27       FIGNAME             Model  of  the instance. This gives the name of the
28                           figure that is currently  being  instantiated.  The
29                           model may not be present in memory.
30
31       NAME                Name of the instance. The instance is identified by
32                           its name, so it should be unique at a given hierar‐
33                           chical level.
34
35       XINS, YINS          Coordinates   of  the  lower  left  corner  of  the
36                           instance, after possible geometrical operation.
37
38       TRANSF              Contains the geometrical operations that should  be
39                           performed  before placing the instance. Eight legal
40                           values are allowed :
41
42                           NOSYM               no operation
43
44                           SYM_X               x becomes -x
45
46                           SYM_Y               y becomes -y
47
48                           SYMXY               x becomes -x and y becomes -y
49
50                           ROT_P               rotates  90   degrees   counter
51                                               clockwise
52
53                           ROT_M               rotates 90 degrees clockwise
54
55                           SY_RP               x  becomes  -x  then rotates 90
56                                               degrees counter clockwise
57
58                           SY_RM               x becomes -x  then  rotates  90
59                                               degrees clockwise
60
61       USER                Pointer  to a ptype list, see ptype(3) for details,
62                           that is a general purpose  pointer  used  to  share
63                           information on the instance.
64
65       Remark :            the  phins  structure does not contain any informa‐
66                           tion about the size of the  instance.  Neither  the
67                           abutment  box nor the connectors are available. The
68                           model must  be  loaded  when  such  information  is
69                           needed.
