Synopsis

#include "rtlnnn.h"

Pointer to the RDS Figure created.

Name

Name of the model of the figure.

MODE :  

Caracter indicating the status of the figure in memory.

This field can take three values :

´A´

All the cell is loaded in ram (The figure, its rectangles and its instances empty).

´P´

Only information concerning the model interface is present, that means : connectors, the abutment box and through routes of the figure.

´V´

Visualization mode : all is loaded in RAM : The figure, its rectangles, its instances and the rectangles of its instances.

Description

The loadrdsfig function loads in memory a cell model from disk. The loadrdsfig function in fact performs a call to a  parser ,chosen by the RDS_IN environment variable.

Return Value

The pointer to the created figure. (it's the parameter ´Figure´ of the loadrdsfig function).

Errors

"Rtl103.h: Unknown rds input format"

The input format defined by the unix environment variable RDS_IN is not supported by the driver (supported formats are "cif" and "gds").

Other errors can appear because the loadrdsfig function calls cif and gds parsers.

Example

       #include "mutnnn.h"
       #include "rdsnnn.h"
       #include "rtlnnn.h"
       main()
        {
          rdsfig_list ∗RdsFigure;
          mbkenv();
          rdsenv();
          loadrdsparam();
          /∗ ∗/ loadrdsfig (RdsFigure, "core", 'A');
          viewrdsfig( Figure );
