Create DOT diagram of parse tree

This example parses the r4000 design in the <verific>/example_designs/verilog directory and writes out a Graphviz DOT-format file that represents a simple diagram view of the design.

There are several tools that can visualize DOT files. On Linux distributions you can install 'dot'. You would run this command to view the output of the C++ application below
