wavy - a tool to convert ASCII art into logic trace images

Overview

The wavy tool is a lightweight program to convert simple ASCII art logic trace representations into a PNG. It was written because it has very light dependencies and can be used on any platform Go supports.

Getting started

Build from source:

$ go build wavy.go

The wavy program transforms .wvy files into .PNG images. For example, in the source repository, examples/hello.wvy looks like this:

+0 clk
+1,.25 aclk

zzzzzxxx^^^^______zz a
xx_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^xx b
__/^^^\_____________ c
xx<-><->xxx<->xxxxxx d NOP,ACK,SYN

You can invoke ./wavy against it as follows:

$ ./wavy --input=examples/hello.wvy --output=hello.png

The generated hello.png looks like this:

License info

The wavy program is distributed with the same BSD 3-clause license as that used by golang itself.
