 the unicity of names in the figure.
 It may otherwise fail, because the function would try to add in the current
 figure some object with an already existing name.
+The \fIcatal\fP parameter may also take two values:
+.TP
+\fBYES\fP
+to check the catalog file to see if the model of an instance is in it.
+If the model belong to the catalog, then it is \fInot\fR flattened.
