GENLIB_GET_INS_X.3alc - Man Page
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");
