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

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

VERSION

Visual is release version 0.6.0.

This is an academic proof-of-concept prototype implementation, not commercial-quality software. GTK is used at compile-time for the GUI. CAIRO is used at compile-time for drawings displayed on the GUI.
