NAME

visual - Graphical SystemC Module Visualizer using RISC  

SYNOPSIS

visual [ options ] design [ options ]  

DESCRIPTION

visual is an analysis tool for graphical visualizing of ports and modules of SystemC code. It uses the RISC compiler to parse and analyze the SystemC source code into a data structure. The tool iterates through this data structure and displays a visual representation of the hierarchy of modules and ports. visual provides a GUI to provide a graphical representation of the SystemC model as well as provide user modifiable options during run-time to change the graphical properties of the visualization.  

ARGUMENTS

design
specifies the file name of the input SystemC model.
 

OPTIONS

-h | --help prints a brief message on the usage of the tool to standard output and quits;
-bw
Modules are drawing without color;
-tm module
Only draw "module";
-Il integer
Draw only a certain depth in the hierarchy given by "integer";
-s float
Scale the drawing size by "float". If "float" = 0.5, then the size of the drawing is scaled by 50 percent.
-np
The module hierachy will be drawn without ports or channels;
 

ENVIRONMENT

RISC
is used to compile-time to determine the installation directory of the RISC compiler and simulator where the RISC system components are located.
SYSTEMC_LW_HOME
is used at run-time to find the RISC light-weight SystemC header files which are expected in directory $SYSTEMC_LW_HOME/include
