NAME

       GENLIB_SC_PLACE - place an instance in the current figure at absolute coordinates

SYNOPSYS

       #include <genlib.h>
       void GENLIB_SC_PLACE(insname, symetry, x, y)
       char ∗insname;
       char symetry;
       long x,y;

PARAMETERS

       insname             Name to be given to the instance on the model

       symetry             Geometrical operation to be performed on the instance before beeing placed

       x, y                Coordinates  of the lower left corner of the abutment box of the model in the current
                           figure

DESCRIPTION

       SC_PLACE add an instance in the current cell. The bottom left corner of the  instance  is  placed,  after
       beeing symetrized and/or rotated, at (x, y) coordinates. The placement takes place only if the netlist is
       up to day, because the model of the instance is seeked there, in order to ensure consistency.  The placed
       instance becomes the new "reference instance", used in the relative placement functions.
       The symetry argument can take eight legal values :

       NOSYM               no geometrical operation is performed

       SYM_Y               Y becomes -Y, that means toward X axe symetry

       SYM_X               X becomes -X, that means toward Y axe symetry

       SYMXY               X becomes -X, Y becomes -Y

       ROT_P               a positive 90 degrees rotation take place

       ROT_M               a negative 90 degrees rotation take place

       SY_RP               Y becomes -Y, and then a positive 90 degrees rotation take place

       SY_RM               Y becomes -Y, and then a negative 90 degrees rotation take place

ERRORS

       "GENLIB_SC_PLACE impossible : missing GENLIB_DEF_PHFIG"
              No figure has been yet specified by a call to DEF_PHFIG. So it isn't possible to place an instance
              inside it.  you must call DEF_PHFIG before any other layout action.
       "GENLIB_SC_PLACE impossible : missing GENLIB_DEF_LOFIG"
              The current netlist figure is not define, so SC_PLACE doesn't know where to pick up the  model.  A
              DEF_LOFIG or a DEF_PHSC is to be performed to avoid this error.
       "GENLIB_SC_PLACE impossible : no logical instance insname"
              The  instance  insname does not exist in the netlist representation of the cell. It may lead us to
              believe that there is a consistency problem between the two representation of this cell.
       "illegal addphins : transformation is x in insname"
              The symetry parameter is not one of the define given, but has the integer value x.

EXAMPLE

       #include <genlib.h>
       main()
       {
            /∗ Create a figure to work on  ∗/
            GENLIB_DEF_PHSC("cell");
            /∗ Place two instances ∗/
            GENLIB_SC_PLACE("ins1", NOSYM, 0L, 0L);
            GENLIB_SC_PLACE("ins2", NOSYM, 80L, 100L);
            /∗ Save all that on disk ∗/
            GENLIB_SAVE_PHSC();
       }
