BIGVIA(3)		 MBK PHYSICAL UTILITY FUNCTIONS 	       BIGVIA(3)

NAME
     bigvia - draws a non minimal via as a bunch of vias

SYNOPSIS
     #include "mph.h"
     void *bigvia(figure, viatype, x, y, dx, dy)
     phfig_list *figure;
     char viatype;
     long x, y, dx, dy;

PARAMETERS
     figure		 Pointer  to  the physical figure in the which vias must
			 be put.

     viatype		 Contact type to be put.

     x, y		 Coordinate of the center of the bigvia.

     dx, dy		 Maximun rectangle to be filled with vias.

DESCRIPTION
     bigvia draws as many vias as necessary to fill the rectangle defined by its
     dx and dy arguments.  The ``bigvia'' center is indicated with  dx	and  dy,
     thus  making  this function much like addphvia.  The necessary segments are
     drawn to avoid having notches or other drc rules violated.
     This function is tipically used by routers when connecting two non  minimal
     wires, like supplies or clocks.
     The  values  for  drawing	the  via correctly, ie avoid drc violations, are
     taken from the idps set of rules, and are not changeable at run time.

ERRORS
	    "*** mbk error *** bigvia impossible : negative  values  dx,  dy  in
	    figure figure at (x, y)"
     If either dx or dy are negative, the function complains and exits.

EXAMPLE
     #include "mph.h"
     #define BigVia(x, y, dx, dy) \
	bigvia(WORK_PHFIG, CONT_VIA, x, y, dx, dy)
