SYNOPSYS
#include "rtlnnn.h"
void loadrdsfig( Figure, Name, Mode )
rdsfig_list *Figure;
char *Name;
char Mode;
PARAMETER
Figure 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 );
}
