During the automatic generation of complex VLSI-circuits from a high level description, it is necessary to provide some graphical feedback to the designer. This can be done by drawing a schematic diagram of a temporarily constructed network. To overcome the time consuming manual drawing of such diagrams, an automatic schematic diagram generator is developed. The generator is composed out of a placement and a routing part. For both parts, user oriented algorithms based on some guidelines traditionally followed in manual drawing of schematic diagrams are constructed. The algorithms are implemented and results are shown.
