Hierarchy Visule Mode

The hierarchy Visule Mode is a display of the design with cells highlighted and color-coded according to block membership or levels of hierarchy. By default, the layout display shows the cells belonging to each top-level block highlighted in its own color.  A histogram-like bar graph shows the number of cells beloging to each top-level block, identified by name.

You can also highlight cells using a different color for each second-level hieratchical block or each third-level hierarchical block, and so on, or you can highlight only the cells belonging to one or more particular hierarchical blocks, identified by name, at any level. You can set the hierarchical coloring options in the dialog box opened by clicking the Reload button.
