NAME

       GENLIB_FLATTEN_PHFIG - flatten an instance in the current layout figure

SYNOPSYS

       #include <genlib.h>
       void GENLIB_FLATTEN_PHFIG(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_PHFIG 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_PHFIG("mycell");
            .
            .
            .
            /∗ Place an instance ∗/
            GENLIB_PLACE("model","instance", SYM_X, 0, 0);
            /∗ flatten an instance ∗/
            GENLIB_FLATTEN_PHFIG("instance", YES);
            /∗ Save all that on disk ∗/
            GENLIB_SAVE_PHFIG();
       }
