D3.js and ELK based schematic visualizer.

Use npm install d3-hwschematic --save to install this library and save it to your package.json file.

Features:

cdc_pulse_gen

Typical usecase

How to use examples

Online

From this git

  1. download dependencies and build this library
npm install
npm install --only=dev
npm run build
  1. Then you can open examples, but current web browsers does not allow to load files from local disk (because of security). It has multiple solution
# (in root directory of this git)
python3 -m http.server 8888

Now you should be able to view the example application on http://0.0.0.0:8888/examples/example.html?schematic=/examples/schemes/Cdc.json. Where part after schematic= is path to json file where schematic is stored.

ELK json format for d3-hwschematic

This libarary uses ELK json, ELK options. This format is basically a component tree stored in json. The json specifies not just the structure of circuit but also how the circuit should be rendered. It contains 3 object types LNode, LPort and LEdge.

ELK LNode (component instance)

{
  "id": "0",
  "hwMeta": { // [d3-hwschematic specific]
    "name": "compoent instance name", // optional str
    "cls": "compoent (module) name", // optional str
    "bodyText": "", // optional str
    "maxId": 2, // max id of any object in this node used to avoid re-counting object if new object is generated
    "isExternalPort": true, // optional flag which set LNode style to external LPort
    "cssClass": "node-style0", // optional string, css classes separated by space
    "cssStyle": "fill:red", // css style specification separated by ;
  },
  "properties": { // recommended renderer settings
    "org.eclipse.elk.portConstraints": "FIXED_ORDER", // can be also "FREE" or other value accepted by ELK
    "org.eclipse.elk.layered.mergeEdges": 1
  },
  "ports": [],    // list of LPort
  "edges": [],    // list of LEdge
  "children": [], // list of LNode, if the node should be collapsed rename this property
                  // to "_children" and "edges" to "_edges"
}

If the children should be collapsed by default, the children children and edges property should be renamed to _children and _edges.

ELK LPort

{
  "id": "1",
  "hwMeta": { // [d3-hwschematic specific]
    "name": "port name",
    "cssClass": "node-style0", // optional string, css classes separated by space
    "cssStyle": "fill:red", // css style specification separated by ;
    "connectedAsParent": true, // an optional flag that notes that this LPort
                               // has no connections but it is connected as its parent LPort
  },
  "direction": "OUTPUT", // [d3-hwschematic specific] controlls direction marker
  "properties": {
    "side": "EAST",
    "index": 0 // The order is assumed as clockwise, starting with the leftmost port on the top side.
                   // Required only for LNodes with "org.eclipse.elk.portConstraints": "FIXED_ORDER"
  },
  "children": [], // list of LPort, if the port should be collapsed rename this property to "_children"
}

ELK LEdge

{ // simple LEdge
  "id": "62",
  "source": "2", // id of LNode
  "sourcePort": "23", // id of LPort
  "target": "4", // id of LNode
  "targetPort": "29", // id of LPort
  "hwMeta": { // [d3-hwschematic specific]
    "name": null // optional string, displayed on mouse over
    "cssClass": "link-style0", // optional string, css classes separated by space
    "cssStyle": "stroke:red", // css style specification separated by ;
  }
}
{ // hyper LEdge
  "id": "1119",
  "sources": [
    ["17", "343"]  // id of LNode, id of LPort
  ],
  "targets": [
    [ "18", "346"],  // id of LNode, id of LPort
    [ "21", "354"],
  ],
  "hwMeta": { // [d3-hwschematic specific]
    "name": "wr_ptr",
    "cssClass": "link-style0", // optional string, css classes separated by space
    "cssStyle": "stroke:red", // css style specification separated by ;
  }
}

LEdge souce destination has to always be directly visible from the LNode where the LEdge is instanciated. That means that LEdge may connect only to LPorts of current LNode or to LPorts of this LNode direct children LNodes. LNode represents all types of components. Top LPorts are also represented as LNode because it looks better.

Component shapes

The style and shape is determined by node renderers. Node renderers are defined in src/node_renderers. Renderer classes can be registered using HwSchematic.nodeRenderers.registerRenderer() function on HwSchematic object. The node renderer has function select which is used to determine if renderer should be used for for selected LNode.
