load_color_map

load_color_map
-file s_fileName 
[ -name { s_computationName } ] 
[ -regex_style [ true | false ] ] 

Description

Loads a file containing computation results, allowing you to color map results without re-running the analysis.

After loading data with this command, you must use display_color_map to display the color map for the computation results.

Arguments

-file s_fileName

Specifies the name of the file containing the computation results.

-name s_computationName

Specifies the name of the computation results to load. The name can be an expression with wildcard characters, letting you load multiple computations from a single file. The file is scanned for computation names that match the expression. Refer to Color Map Computation Types for a list of accepted names and Pattern Matching for guidelines on special characters that can be used. If this argument is not given, all computations in the file are loaded.

To avoid conflict with a current analysis result, a computation loaded by this command is assigned a unique name in the format: viewName_computationName or viewName_computationName_i as needed for uniqueness. For example, layout_ViaCongestion, or if that already exists, layout_ViaCongestion_2, and so on.

-regex_style [ true | false ]

By default and when set true, the computation name can be a regular extended expression with wildcards. When set to false, glob expressions can be used for the computation name.

Examples

The following command loads all computations from the file mycolormaps and a Space-based Router and Chip Optimizer response is shown.

load_color_map -file mycolormaps 
The computation 'layout_ViaCongestion' was loaded
The computation 'layout_VerticalCellCongestion' was loaded

In this case, the file contained two computations, ViaCongestion and VerticalCellCongestion. To display these computations using default settings, you would use the following commands:

display_color_map -name layout_ViaCongestion
display_color_map -name layout_VerticalCellCongestion
