NAME

       GENLIB_PHCON - place a physical connector in the current figure at absolute coordinates

SYNOPSYS

       #include <genlib.h>
       void GENLIB_PHCON(layer, width, name, orient, x, y)
       char layer;
       long width;
       char ∗name, orient;
       long x, y;

PARAMETERS

       layer               Layout layer of the connector

       width               Width of the connector

       name                Name to be given to the connector

       orient              Face of the cell on witch the connector belongs

       x, y                Absolute coordinates of the connector

DESCRIPTION

       PHCON  adds  a  connector  in  the  current  layout  cell,  at  the specified coordinates, with the given
       attributs.  The layer argument can take the following legal values:

              NWELL

              PWELL

              NTIE

              PTIE

              NDIF

              PDIF

              NTRANS

              PTRANS

              POLY

              ALU1

              ALU2

              ALU3

              TPOLY

              TALU1

              TALU2

              TALU3

       The name argument is not enough of an information to non ambigiously identify a connector.  In  order  to
       be  able to do so, an index is computed for each connector that has an already existing name, following a
       topological order.  Each time a connector is created, the index is updated, regarding  the  name  of  the
       connector.  Since someone writting a tiler needs to know exactly what connector to access, the indexation
       algorithm must be known by the user.

       Connectors with a unique name:
                           Such connectors have the index 0

       Connectors with a name apearing many times:
                           The indexes are computed from left to right, and then from bottom to top, starting at
                           0.   If  two  connectors are on the same location, with the same name, then the layer
                           decides which one is has the greater number, from lower level, NWELL to upper  level,
                           ALU3.

       The orient paramater may take the following values:

       NORTH               for a connector placed on the top of the cell.

       SOUTH               for a connector placed on the bottom of the cell.

       EAST                for a connector placed on the right side of the cell.

       WEST                for a connector placed on the left side of the cell.

       Remark:             Connectors  placed  on  corners  of  leaf  cells are given the EAST orientation if on
                           top/right or bottom/right corner, and WEST if top/left or bottom/left.

ERRORS

       "GENLIB_PHCON 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 addphcon : orientation is XX in name"
              The orient parameter does not have a legal value, but XX.

EXAMPLE

       #include <genlib.h>
       main()
       {
            /∗ Create a figure to work on  ∗/
            GENLIB_DEF_PHFIG("cell");
            .
            .
            .
            GENLIB_DEF_AB(0L, 0L, 0L, 0L);
            /∗ Put a connector ∗/
            GENLIB_PHCON(ALU1, 1, "cin", SOUTH, 12L, 0L);
            /∗ Save that on disk ∗/
            GENLIB_SAVE_PHFIG();
       }
