# figmbkrds(3)

converts MBK figure to RDS figure

## NAME

 figmbkrds - converts MBK figure to RDS figure

## SYNOPSYS

```
#include "rfmnnn.h"
rdsfig_list ∗figmbkrds( FigureMbk, Size, Lynx )
   phfig_list   ∗FigureMbk;
   unsigned int  Size;
   char          Lynx;
```

## PARAMETER

- *FigureMbk*

  Figure Mbk to convert to RDS figure.

- *Size*

  Size of the user structure (if it exists) added to the rdsrec\_list structure. If the user structure doesn't exist, the parameter 'Size' has to be set to 0L.

- *Lynx*

  Flag used for the segment conversion. If the parameter Lynx is set to 0 then this is the normal conversion mode. If the parameter Lynx is set to 1 then the rds structure generated permits to extract equipotentials rectangles.

## DESCRIPTION

The *figmbkrds* function creates a RDS figure with a figure from MBK structure *phfig\_list* which is converted to RDS format.

## RETURN VALUE

The pointer to the newly created RDS figure.

## ERRORS

**"Rds202: rdsalloc error, can't continue !"**

it's impossible to allocate the memory size desired

## EXAMPLE

```
        #include "mphnnn.h"
        #include "mutnnn.h"
        #include "rdsnnn.h"
        #include "rfmnnn.h"
        #include "rtlnnn.h"
        typedef struct UserStruct
         {
           char ∗STRING;
           void ∗USER1;
         } UserStruct;
        main()
          {
            phfig_list  ∗MbkFigure;
            rdsfig_list ∗RdsFigure;
            mbkenv();
            rdsenv();
            loadrdsparam();
            MbkFigure        = getphfig("na2_y",'A');
            RdsFigure        = figmbkrds (MbkFigure,sizeof(UserStruct),0);
            viewrdsfig ( RdsFigure );
            . . .
          }
```
