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

NAME
     GENLIB_GET_INS_X - retrieve the x coordinate of an instance

SYNOPSIS
     long GENLIB_GET_INS_X(insname)
     char *insname;

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 being the x position of the instance in the
     current figure

ERRORS
     "GENLIB_GET_INS_X impossible : missing GENLIB_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  */
	  GENLIB_DEF_PHFIG("cell");
	  GENLIB_PLACE("gaci0_b", "r1", NOSYM, 23L, 54L);
	  GENLIB_PLACE_TOP("gaci0_b", "r2", SYM_X);
	  GENLIB_PLACE_RIGHT("gaci0_b", "r3", SYM_Y);
	  /* Get a connector */
	  x = GENLIB_GET_INS_X("r3");
	  y = GENLIB_GET_INS_Y("r3");
	  .
	  .
	  /* Save that on disk */
	  GENLIB_SAVE_PHFIG();
     }
