Hello.

I hope everyone is doing well, and anticipating the holidays.

I wanted to throw the suggestion of supporting other visualization tools.

Is there any way to allow GHDL to output things in a GNUplot compatible
format?

I know that the other tools are good, but if there were a way to support
GNUplot as the simplest visualization tool, it might be a good idea in
terms of either formatting diagrams for academic purposes or leveraging
the abilities of GNUplot because it is powerful and it is common on many
Unix platforms.

I am wanting to use GHDL as a simulator to teach first and 2nd year
undergrads about VHDL without the hassle and learning curve of other tools
like ModelSim or NC-VHDL etc. The hope is to be able to use nothing more
than an SSH connection to learn VHDL and to see output from testbenches.

I have tried to build the other plotting tools GHDL is compatible with, on
Solaris, but thus far have not had much luck. I am glad at least that .27
does work on Solaris but without any means of visualization of the output
from a test bench, I have to hesitate before writing tutorials around
GHDL.

Hence my suggestion of GNUplot as a possible stand-in.

S.
