report timing using tcl

Hi all 

 

I know how to use a tcl command for retrieving a timing report from Quartus. 

For example: 

report_timing -from_clock { clk1 } -to_clock { clk2 } -from {reg1} -to {reg2} -setup -npaths 10 -detail full_path 

 

My question is: is it possible to use a tcl command to also export the waveform as a png/bmp file? 

It can be done from within the Quartus GUI, but is it possible to use a tcl command for it? 

 

Thanks, 

Moshe

Not that I'm aware of. You might try the '-file <name>.html' option. The resulting HTML file might include the waveform, but I tend to doubt it. I haven't actually tried this, but if it does it won't be in BMP or PNG file format.

Hi jimbo 

 

Thanks for answering. 

The html generating didn't help. 

The only thing you get is an html page rather then just an ascii page. 

But the waveform is not there. 

 

Can you think of anything else? 

 

Thanks, 

Moshe

Nope. Looks like you'll just have to use the GUI for this.

In the document I posted here:

Figure 4,5,6: I used print screen (ctrl-alt-print screen) and then cropped out the waveform or image. 

 

Figures 19-21: I used Tcl to create .SVG (XML) waveforms. 

 

Cheers,
