void loadrdsfig( Figure, Name, Mode ) rdsfig_list *Figure;

char
*Name;
char

Parameter

Figure
Pointer to the RDS Figure created.
Name
Name of the model of the figure.
MODE :
Caracter indicating the status of the figure in memory.

This field can take three values :

`A'
All the cell is loaded in ram (The figure, its rectangles and its instances empty).
`P'
Only information concerning the model interface is present, that means : connectors, the abutment box and through routes of the figure.
`V'
Visualization mode : all is loaded in RAM : The figure, its rectangles, its instances and the rectangles of its instances.

Description

The loadrdsfig function loads in memory a cell model from disk. The loadrdsfig function in fact performs a call to a parser ,chosen by the RDS_IN environment variable.

Return Value

The pointer to the created figure. (it's the parameter `Figure' of the loadrdsfig function).

Errors

Rtl103.h: Unknown rds input format"
The input format defined by the unix environment variable RDS_IN is not supported by the driver (supported formats are cif and gds").

Other errors can appear because the loadrdsfig function calls cif and gds parsers.

Example

#include mutnnn.h"
#include rdsnnn.h"
#include rtlnnn.h"
main()
{
rdsfig_list *RdsFigure;
mbkenv();
rdsenv();
loadrdsparam();
/* */ loadrdsfig (RdsFigure, core", `A'); viewrdsfig( Figure );
}
