PHINS

NAME

phins − mbk physical instance

DESCRIPTION

The phins structure is used to describe a instance belonging to a symbolic layout model, see phfig(3) for details.

The declarations needed to work on phins are available in the header file "/labo/include/mph402.h", where ’402’ is the actual mbk version.

The following C structure supports the description of the instance :

typedef struct phins {

struct phins

∗NEXT;

char

∗INSNAME;

char

∗FIGNAME;

long

XINS,YINS;

char

TRANSF;

struct ptype

∗USER;

} phins_list;

NEXT

Pointer to the next instance in the list.

FIGNAME

Model of the instance. This gives the name of the figure that is currently beeing instanciated. The model may not be present in memory.

NAME

Name of the instance. The instance is identified by its name, so it should be unique at a given hierarchical level.

XINS, YINS

Coordinates of the lower left corner of the instance, after possible geometrical operation.

TRANSF

Contains the geometrical operations that should be performed before placing the instance. Eight legal values are allowed :

NOSYM

no operation

SYM_X

x becomes -x

SYM_Y

y becomes -y

SYMXY

x becomes -x and y becomes -y

ROT_P

rotates 90 degrees counter clockwise

ROT_M

rotates 90 degrees clockwise

SY_RP

x becomes -x then rotates 90 degrees counter clockwise

SY_RM

x becomes -x then rotates 90 degrees clockwise

USER

Pointer to a ptype list, see ptype(3) for details, that is a general purpose pointer used to share informations on the instance.

Remark :

the phins structure does not contain any information about the size of the instance. Neither the abutment box nor the connectors are available. The model must be loaded when such information is needed.
