Parameter

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

Description

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.

Return Value

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

Errors

GET_INS_X 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.

Example

#include <genlib.h>
main()
{
long x, y;
/* Create a figure to work on */ DEF_PHFIG("cell");
PLACE("gaci0_b", r1", NOSYM, 23L, 54L); PLACE_TOP("gaci0_b", r2", SYM_X);
PLACE_RIGHT("gaci0_b", r3", SYM_Y); /* Get a connector */
x = GET_INS_X("r3"); y = GET_INS_Y("r3");
.
.
/* Save that on disk */
SAVE_PHFIG();
}
