GENLIB_PLACE.3(October 1, 1997) 		 GENLIB_PLACE.3(October 1, 1997)

NAME
     GENLIB_PLACE  - place a physical instance in the current figure at absolute
     coordinates

SYNOPSIS
     #include <genlib.h>
     void GENLIB_PLACE(modelname, insname, symetry, x, y)
     char *modelname, *insname;
     char symetry;
     long x,y;

PARAMETERS
     modelname		 Name of the layout figure to be instantiated

     insname		 Name to be given to the instance on the model

     symetry		 Geometrical operation to be performed on  the	instance
			 before being placed

     x, y		 Coordinates  of  the  lower left corner of the abutment
			 box on the instance in the current figure

DESCRIPTION
     PLACE add an instance in the current layout cell. The bottom left corner of
     the instance of the model	modelname  is  placed,	after  being  symetrized
     and/or rotated, at (x, y) coordinates.  The placed instance becomes the new
     "reference instance", used in the relative placement functions.
     The insname is the name given to the instance and must be unique at a given
     hierarchy level.
     The symetry argument can take eight legal values :

     NOSYM		 no geometrical operation is performed

     SYM_Y		 Y becomes -Y, that means toward X axe symetry

     SYM_X		 X becomes -X, that means toward Y axe symetry

     SYMXY		 X becomes -X, Y becomes -Y

     ROT_P		 a positive 90 degrees rotation take place

     ROT_M		 a negative 90 degrees rotation take place

     SY_RP		 Y  becomes  -Y, and then a positive 90 degrees rotation
			 take place

     SY_RM		 Y becomes -Y, and then a negative 90  degrees	rotation
			 take place

     The  model of the figure to be placed must be available, on disk or in mem-
     ory.  The path to the library is specified  in  the  MBK_CATA_LIB	(1)  and
     MBK_WORK_LIB  (1)	environment  variables,  and  its format is given by the
     MBK_IN_PH (1) environment variable.

ERRORS
     "GENLIB_PLACE impossible : missing GENLIB_DEF_PHFIG"
	    No figure has been yet specified by a call to DEF_PHFIG. So it isn't
	    possible to place an instance inside it.  you  must  call  DEF_PHFIG
	    before any other layout action.
     "illegal addphins : transformation is x in insname"
	    The  symetry  parameter  is not one of the define given, but has the
	    integer value x.

EXAMPLE
     #include <genlib.h>
     main()
     {
	  /* Create a figure to work on  */
	  GENLIB_DEF_PHFIG("cell");
	  /* Place two instances */
	  GENLIB_PLACE("gapg0_b","ins1", NOSYM, 0L, 0L);
	  GENLIB_PLACE("gapg8_b","ins2", SYM_X, 80L, 100L);
	  /* Save all that on disk */
	  GENLIB_SAVE_PHFIG();
     }
