GUI automatic generating system for inputting data of a manufacturing process

摘要

When an LSI manufacturing process is to be input by a simulation system, a format reading and analyzing section selectively reads a format of one stop of the manufacturing process from format data unit, and interprets GUI parts and analyzes a simulator input format. Based on a result of the interpretation and analysis, a GUI automatic layout determines a GUI part to be used from the limited GUI parts, automatically calculates coordinates with a regularity held in the layout and displays an input window of the manufacturing process. In this case, when there has been an input operation of a GUI, a call back function is called, input data of the GUI is read from a window system, and a data interface converts the input data into an input format of simulation data based on the format data and transfers the input format to a simulation system. With this arrangement, when the window layout for inputting the LSI manufacturing process is to be added or changed, it becomes possible to obtain a GUI automatic generating system by changing only the format file, without changing or re-compiling the program for GUI and the call back function.
