Description

Marks specified objects in GUI mode. This command places an iconic mark to aid in the location of the specified object or objects. The mark is displayed in a color as determined by one of the color options.

Objects can be unmarked with the unmark_objects command.

Note: Use only one color option. If both color options are specified, -rgb takes precedence over -color.

Arguments

-color_index <arg> - (Optional) Specifies the color index to use for highlighting the selected object or objects. Valid values are integers ranging from 1 to 20. The color indexes are displayed and can be configured from theWindow > Tool Settings > Colors > Mark. Refer to the Vivado Design Suite User Guide: Using the IDE (UG893) for more information on setting colors.

-rgb <args> - (Optional) The color to use in the form of an RGB code specified as {R G B}. For instance, {255 255 0} specifies the color yellow, while {0 255 0} specifies green.

-color <arg> - (Optional) The color to use for marking the specified object or objects. Supported colors are: red, green, blue, magenta, yellow, cyan, and orange.

-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.
Note: Any errors encountered on the command-line, while launching the command, will be returned. Only errors occurring inside the command will be trapped.
