ModelSim graphic interface

While your operating system interface provides the window-management frame, ModelSim controls all internal-window features including menus, buttons, and scroll bars. The resulting simulator interface remains consistent within these operating systems:

• SPARCstation with OpenWindows, OSF/Motif, or CDE
• IBM RISC System/6000 with OSF/Motif
• Hewlett-Packard HP 9000 Series 700 with HP VUE, OSF/Motif, or CDE
• Linux (Red Hat v. 6 / 7) with KDE or GNOME
• Microsoft Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000

Because ModelSim's graphic interface is based on Tcl/TK, you also have the tools to build your own simulation environment. Preference variables and configuration commands, "Preference variables located in INI files" , and "Graphic interface commands" give you control over the use and placement of windows, menus, menu options and buttons. See "Tcl and macros" for more information on Tcl.
