genlib_get_ref_y(3) - Linux man page

Name

GENLIB_GET_REF_Y - retrieve the y coordinate of an instance reference

Synopsys

long GENLIB_GET_REF_Y(insname, refname)
char ∗insname, ∗refname;

Parameters

insname

Name of the instance in the which the reference is to be searched for

refname

Name of the reference

Description

GET_REF_Y looks for the reference, refname, in the instance called insname. Then it computes its absolute coordinates in the figure, and gives back the y coordinate.

Return Value

The function returns a long int beeing the y position of the reference in the current figure

Errors

"GENLIB_GET_REF_Y 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 reference 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.
"illegal getphref : references called refname does not exist"
No reference called refname exists in the model of the instance insname.

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);

/∗ Get a reference ∗/

y = GENLIB_GET_REF_Y("r1", "a_0");

.

.

GENLIB_PHVIA(x, y, CONT_VIA);

/∗ Save that on disk ∗/

GENLIB_SAVE_PHFIG();

}
