GRAAL(1) ALLIANCE Reference Manual GRAAL(1) NAME graal - symbolic layout editor SYNOPSIS graal [-l file_name] [-scale n] [-debug] [-xor] [-install] [-force] DESCRIPTION Graal is a hierarchical symbolic layout editor. All functionnalities can be accessed through different menus. Among them exists a design rule checker performing verifications inside a user defined window. Graal works under Motif and X11r6. When entering Graal, the main window appears and shows 7 different menus on the top bar.These menus can be entered by simply click- ing on the mouse left button. The main window is sensitive to the mouse, and the mouse wheel can be used for scrolling up and down, left and right when <Shift> is pressed during wheel movement, and zooming in and out, when <Ctrl> is pressed while turning the wheel. Below is given the description of graal's menus. File New : clean the entire window and save the current cell. Open : load an already existing cell. Save : save the current cell.

UnFlat : undo the virtual flattening of an instance (done before with the Flat command) Peek : virtual hierarchy flattening (display all visible objects inside a given window). UnPeek : undo the virtual flattening of a window (done before with the Peek command) Druc : call the design rule checker in a given window. RealFlat : real hierarchy flattening of instances included in a window (this command can not be undone, and should be used very carefully) Hierarchy : navigate into the current figure hierarchy Load Error : load a real layout file and superpose it to the cur- rent figure. Message : display the last error messages Setup Save or load a user defined configuration of default displayed menus.
