wavedrom.el - Wavedrom Integration for Emacs

This package provides a major mode for editing and rendering WaveJSON files to create timing diagrams using wavedrom.

Demo

Requirements

• wavedrom-cli: https://github.com/wavedrom/cli

• Optional: inkscape to export to PDF

Installation

MELPA

wavedrom is available on MELPA.

straight.el

To install it via straight with use-package:

(straight-use-package 'use-package)
(use-package wavedrom)

Basic config

The package comes with sensible default values. However, you can tweak it either with M-x customize-group RET wavedrom RET or with the following Elisp code:

(setq wavedrom-output-format "pdf")
(setq wavedrom-output-directory "~/wavedrom")
;; Faces suitable for dark themes
(set-face-attribute 'wavedrom-font-lock-brackets-face nil :foreground "goldenrod")
(set-face-attribute 'wavedrom-font-lock-punctuation-face nil :foreground "burlywood")

Usage

• Create a file with .wjson extension and wavedrom-mode will automatically be enabled next time it is opened.

• Fill the file with valid WaveJSON syntax and every time it is saved the function wavedrom-compile will be executed, updating the output file and its associated buffer. This provides a WYSIWYG-like result similar to the one with the web editor.

• The output file path will be determined from the value of customizable variables wavedrom-output-format and wavedrom-output-directory. For example, if editing the file hello_world.wjson:

  (setq wavedrom-output-format "svg")
  (setq wavedrom-output-directory "~/wavedrom")
  

  The rendered file will be created at: ~/wavedrom/hello_world.svg
