GENLIB_GET_INS_X

retrieve the x coordinate of an instance

long GENLIB_GET_INS_X(insname)
char ∗insname;

See the file man1/alc_origin.1.

Name of the instance which x coordinate is to be given back

GET_INS_X looks for the instance called insname in the current figure. Then it computes its absolute coordinates in the figure, and gives back its x coordinate.

The function returns a long int beeing the x position of the instance in the current figure

"GENLIB_GET_INS_X impossible : missing GENLIB_DEF_PHFIG"

No figure has been yet specified by a call to DEF_PHFIG. So it isn't possible to place a connector inside it. you must call DEF_PHFIG before any other layout action.
"illegal getphins : instance called insname does not exist"
No instance called insname exists in the current figure.
