Description
Create a schematic view containing the specified design objects when the tool is invoked in GUI mode.
The scope of the schematic that is displayed depends on the objects specified. A schematic created with cells, shows the specified cells and any connections between the cells. A schematic created with pins, shows the pin objects, or shows them connected as appropriate if -pin_pairs is specified. A schematic created with nets shows the nets, as well as the cells and ports connected to the nets.
To display a schematic with multiple levels of hierarchy, use the current_instance command to set the top-level of the hierarchy, or the level of interest, and use the -hierarchical option when specifying design objects with a get_* command.
Arguments
-add - (Optional) Add the specified objects to the schematic window.
-remove - (Optional) Remove the specified objects from the schematic window.
-regenerate - (Optional) Regenerate the schematic window.
-pin_pairs - (Optional) When specified with a pair of connected pin objects, the schematic shows the pins and the wire between the pins. When the -pin_pairs option is not specified, or is specified with disconnected pins, the wire is not shown.
-name <arg> - (Optional) Defines a name for the schematic window opened in the GUI. Use this name to add to, remove from, or regenerate the schematic.
-quiet - (Optional) Execute the command quietly, returning no messages from the command. The command also returns TCL_OK regardless of any errors encountered during execution.
-verbose - (Optional) Temporarily override any message limits and return all messages from this command.
set_msg_config command.<objects> - (Required) The netlist objects to display in the schematic window.
