Customizing the interface

The example graphics in this chapter illustrate ModelSim's graphic interface within a Windows environment; however, ModelSim's interface is designed to provide consistency across all supported platforms. Your operating system provides the basic window-management frames, while ModelSim controls all internal window features such as menus, buttons, and scroll bars.

Because ModelSim's graphic interface is based on Tcl/Tk, you are able to customize your simulation environment. Easily-accessible preference variables and configuration commands give you control over the use and placement of windows, menus, menu options, and buttons.
