Parameters

insname
Name of the instance in the which the connector is to be searched for
conname
Name of the connector
index
Connector index

Description

GET_CON_Y looks for the connector, conname, in the instance called insname. Then it computes its absolute coordinates in the figure, and gives back the y coordinate.

Return Value

The function returns a long int beeing the y position of the connector in the current figure

Errors

GET_CON_Y impossible : missing 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. illegal getphcon : connectors conname, index index does not exist" No connector called conname exists in the model of the instance insname.

Example

#include <genlib.h>
main()
{ long x, y;
/* Create a figure to work on */ DEF_PHFIG("cell");
PLACE("gaci0_b", r1", NOSYM, 23L, 54L); /* Get a connector */
y = GET_CON_Y("r1", a", 1);
.
.
PHVIA(x, y, CONT_VIA);
/* Save that on disk */
SAVE_PHFIG();
}
