PHFIG(3)	       MBK PHYSICAL STRUCTURE DEFINITIONS		PHFIG(3)

NAME
     phfig - mbk physical figure

DESCRIPTION
     The phfig is used to describe a hierarchical level of a symbolic layout and
     may contain any of the legal physical objects needed for a layout but a ph-
     fig.   All  coordinates  are symbolic and therefor put on a virtual grid in
     booth x and y directions.

     The declarations needed to work on phfig are available in the  header  file
     "/labo/include/mph402.h", where '402' is the actual mbk version.

     The following C structure supports the description of the layout view :
	    typedef struct phfig {
	       struct phfig	*NEXT;
	       struct chain	*MODELCHAIN;
	       struct phseg	*PHSEG;
	       struct phvia	*PHVIA;
	       struct phref	*PHREF;
	       struct phins	*PHINS;
	       struct phcon	*PHCON;
	       char		*NAME;
	       char		MODE;
	       long		XAB1, YAB1, XAB2, YAB2;
	       struct ptype	*USER;
	    } phfig_list;

     NEXT		 Pointer to the next phfig present in ram.

     NAME		 Name  of the figure. It identifies a figure (or model),
			 so it should be unique in order to warranty consistency
			 of cells libraries. In order  to  ensure  this  consis-
			 tency, the NAME field must be filled with the disk file
			 name  while  parsing, and must be used as file name for
			 driving.

     PHINS		 Pointer to the head of the list of instances being used
			 for the model description. See phins(3) for details.

     PHCON		 Pointer to the head of the list of  connectors  (termi-
			 nals) of the model.  See phcon(3) for details.

     PHSEG		 Pointer  to the head of the list of segments (wires) of
			 the model.  See phseg(3) for details.

     PHVIA		 Pointer to the head of the list of contacs and vias  of
			 the model.  See phvia(3) for details.

     PHREF		 Pointer  to  the  head of the list of references of the
			 model.  See phref(3) for details.

     XAB1, YAB1, XAB2, YAB2
			 Coordinates of the bottom left corner of  the	abutment
			 box  of  the figure. The abutment box of a model repre-
			 sents the external visibility of a figure and	is  what
			 reference is made to when instantiating the model.  One
			 should  well  distinguish  the  abutment  box	from the
			 bounding box, which is the smallest rectangle that  in-
			 cludes  all cell descriptors.	The size and position of
			 the abutment box is a designer concern, and  cannot  be
			 computed.

     MODE		 Caracter indicating the status of the figure in memory.
			 This field can take two values :

			 'A'	   all the cell is loaded in ram.

			 'P'	   only  information concerning the model inter-
				   face is present, that  means  connectors  and
				   the abutment box. All other lists are empty.

     MODELCHAIN 	 Pointer  to  a chain list, see chain(3) for details, of
			 names. These are the names of the models  that  are  at
			 least instantiated once in the figure.

     USER		 Pointer to a ptype list, see ptype(3) for details, that
			 is  a general purpose pointer used to share information
			 on the model.

     Remark :		 mbk's physical view of a cell is releted to it's  logi-
			 cal  view  by	means  of  connector names, that must be
			 identical.
