VPR Draw Files¶

breakpoint.h/cpp¶

This file holds the declaration of the breakpoint class, and also some of the breakpoint related functions.

This class holds the definiton of type Breakpoint as well as all related functions. Breakpoints can be set through the GUI anytime during placement or routing. Breakpoints can also be activated, deactivated, and deleted. Each breakpoint has a type (BT_MOVE_NUM, BT_TEMP_NUM, BT_FROM_BLOCK, BT_ROUTER_ITER, BT_ROUTE_NET_ID, BT_EXPRESSION) and holds the values for corresponding to its type, as well as a boolean variable to activate and deactivate a breakpoint. It should be noted that each breakpoint can only have one type and hold one value corresponding to that type. More complicated breakpoints are set using an expression. (e.g move_num > 3 && block_id == 11) Breakpoints can be create using 3 constructors, the default contructor that doesn’t identify the type and sets a breakpoint that is never reached, a constructor that takes in the type and an int value, and lastly a constructor that takes in the type and the sting that holds the expression. (e.g Breakpoint(BT_MOVE_NUM, 4) or Breakpoint(BT_EXPRESSION, “move_num += 3”)) The == operator has also been provided which returns true when two breakpoints have the same type, and the same value corresponding to the type.

draw_basic.h/cpp¶

draw_basic.cpp contains all functions that draw in the main graphics area that aren’t RR nodes or muxes (they have their own file). All functions in this file contain the prefix draw_.

draw_color.h¶

Contains declarations for different colors used to draw blocks, as well as a global vector of colors shuffled to prevent similar colors from being close together

draw_debug.h/cpp¶

This file contains all functions regarding the graphics related to the setting of place and route breakpoints. Manages creation of new Gtk Windows with debug options on use of the “Debug” button.

draw_floorplanning.h/cpp¶

draw_global.h/cpp¶

This file contains declaration of accessor functions that can be used to retrieve global variables declared at filed scope inside draw_global.c. Doing so could reduce the number of global variables in VPR and thus reduced the likelihood of compiler error for declaration of multiple variables with the same name.

draw_mux.h/cpp¶

This file contains all functions related to drawing muxes

draw_noc.h/cpp¶

Overview¶

The following steps are all performd when displaying the NoC:

First, the state of the NoC display button is checked. If the user selected to not display the NoC, then nothing is displayed.
If the user selected to display the NoC, then first the NoC routers are highlighted. The highlighting is done on top of the already drawn FPGA device within the canvas.
Then links are drawn on top of the FPGA device, connecting the routers together based on the topology. There is an option to display the “usage” of each link in the NoC. If this is selected then a color map legend is drawn and each link is colored based on how much of its bandwidth is being used relative to its maximum capaity.

draw_rr_edges.h/cpp¶

draw_rr_edges.cpp contains all functions that draw lines between RR nodes.

draw_rr.h/cpp¶

draw_rr.cpp contains all functions that relate to drawing routing resources.

draw_searchbar.h/cpp¶

draw_searchbar contains functions that draw/highlight search results, and manages the selection/highlighting of currently selected options.

draw_toggle_functions.h/cpp¶

This file contains all of the callback functions for main UI elements. These callback functions alter the state of a set enum member in t_draw_state (draw_types.cpp) which is then reflected in the drawing. Please add any new callback functions here, and if it makes sense, add _cbk at the end of function name to prevent someone else calling it in any non gtk context.

draw_triangle.h/cpp¶

draw_triangle.cpp contains functions that draw triangles. Used for drawing arrows for showing switching in the routing, direction of signals, flylines

draw_types.h/cpp¶

This file contains declarations of structures and types shared by all drawing routines.

Key structures: t_draw_coords - holds coordinates and dimensions for each grid tile and each logic block t_draw_state - holds variables that control drawing modes based on user input (eg. clicking on the menu buttons)

holds state variables that control drawing and highlighting of architectural elements on the FPGA chip

draw.h/cpp¶

The main drawing file. Contains the setup for ezgl application, ui setup, and graphis functions

This is VPR’s main graphics application program. The program interacts with ezgl/graphics.hpp, which provides an API for displaying graphics on both X11 and Win32. The most important subroutine in this file is draw_main_canvas(), which is a callback function that will be called whenever the screen needs to be updated. Then, draw_main_canvas() will decide what drawing subroutines to call depending on whether PLACEMENT or ROUTING is shown on screen. The initial_setup_X() functions link the menu button signals to the corresponding drawing functions. As a note, looks into draw_global.c for understanding the data structures associated with drawing->

Contains all functions that didn’t fit in any other draw_*.cpp file.

hsl.h/cpp¶

This file manages conversions between color (red, green, and blue) and hsl (hue, saturation, and luminesence)

intra_logic_block.h/cpp¶

This file manages the interactions between logic blocks, cluster blocks, and their sub blocks Contains declaration of selected_Sub_block_info struct, which holds the information on the currently selected/highlighted block

Authors: Long Yu Wang, Matthew J.P. Walker, Sebastian Lievano

manual_moves.h/cpp¶

Includes the data structures and gtk function for manual moves. The Manual Move Generator class is defined manual_move_generator.h/cpp.

Author: Paula Perdomo

save_graphics.h/cpp¶

Manages saving of graphics in different file formats

search_bar.h/cpp¶

This file essentially follows the whole search process, from searching, finding the match, and finally highlighting the searched for item. Also includes auto-complete functionality/matching functions.

Author: Sebastian Lievano

ui_setup.h/cpp¶

UI Members are initialized and created through a main.ui file, which is maintained and edited using the Glade program. This file (ui_setup.h/cpp) contains the setup of these buttons, which are connected to their respective callback functions in draw_toggle_functions.cpp.
