NAME

       addphvia - create a physical via

SYNOPSYS

       #include "mph.h"
       phvia_list ∗addphvia(ptfig, viatype, x, y)
       phfig_list ∗ptfig;
       char viatype;
       long x, y;

PARAMETERS

       ptfig               Pointer to the figure in which the via should be added

       viatype             Contact type

       x, y                Coordinates of the center of the via.

DESCRIPTION

       addphvia  creates  a  new via whose center is at the given coordinates, and adds it to the
       list of vias pointed to by ptfig->PHVIA. The new via is added in front of  the  list,  and
       becomes itself the list head.
       The  parameters  viatype,  x  and y fill respectivly the TYPE, XVIA and YVIA fields of the
       phvia structure.
       For a list of valid viatypes, and details on the structure, see phvia(3).

RETURN VALUE

       addphvia returns a pointer to the newly created via.

ERRORS

       "∗∗∗ mbk error ∗∗∗ illegal addphvia viatype : viatype at x, y"
              The via type is not a predefined contact. For  a  list  of  legal  via  types,  see
              phvia(3).

EXAMPLE

       #include "mph.h"
       phvia_list ∗via_dup(pfd, pfs) /∗ duplicate vias ∗/
       phfig_list ∗pfd, ∗pfs;
       {
       phvia_list ∗pv;
          for (pv = pfs->phvia; pv != NULL; pv = pv->NEXT)
             addphvia(pfd, pv->TYPE, ps->XVIA, ps->YVIA);
          return pfd->PHVIA;
       }
