Description

SAVE_PHFIG saves the current working figure previously definded by a DEF_PHFIG call. SAVE_PHFIG uses environment variables to choose the file format and the path to the file.
MBK_OUT_PH set up the output file format, the valid ones beeing : cp
ap
you could for example do :
setenv MBK_OUT_PH ap
MBK_WORK_LIB set up the output file path. Any valid unix path is ok. for example :
setenv MBK_WORK_LIB ~fred/booth/genlib SAVE_PHFIG doesn't look on disk for the figure cellname, so be careful not to overwrite an existing file while saving.

Error

SAVE_PHFIG impossible : missing DEF_PHFIG" No figure has been yet specified by a call to DEF_PHFIG. So it isn't possible to save anything. you must call DEF_PHFIG before any other layout action.

Example

#include <genlib.h>
main()
{
/* Create a figure to work on */ DEF_PHFIG("mycell");
/* Place an instance */
PLACE("mymodel","firstinstance", NOSYM,0L,0L); /* Save all that on disk */
SAVE_PHFIG();
}
