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.
