View source for 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 create a PDF output of the C++ application below 

    dot -Tpdf pp_out.dot -o r4000.pdf
