NAME

       GENLIB_FLATTEN_LOFIG - flatten an instance in the current netlist figure

SYNOPSYS

       #include <genlib.h>
       void GENLIB_FLATTEN_LOFIG(insname,concat)
       char ∗insname;
       char concat;

PARAMETERS

       insname             Name of the instance to be flattened

       concat              Indicate whether or not to concatenate instance name to instance' objects name

DESCRIPTION

       FLATTEN_LOFIG  inserts  the  contents of an instance, but its connectors, in the current figure, and then
       destroys the instance.
       The concat parameter may take two values:

       YES    to concatenate object name with instance names.

       NO     to copy object names.

       In most case, the concat value must be YES, in order to warranty the unicity of names in the figure.   It
       may  otherwise  fail,  because  the  function  would try to add in the current figure some object with an
       already existing name.

EXAMPLE

       #include <genlib.h>
       main()
       {
            /∗ Create a figure to work on  ∗/
            GENLIB_DEF_LOFIG("mycell");
            .
            .
            .
            /∗ Place an instance ∗/
            GENLIB_LOINS("model","instance", "sig1", "sig2", EOL);
            /∗ flatten an instance ∗/
            GENLIB_FLATTEN_LOFIG("instance", YES);
            /∗ Save all that on disk ∗/
            GENLIB_SAVE_LOFIG();
       }
