Abstract
A system, method, and computer program product for interactively viewing output log files in an electronic design automation framework. An interactive log file viewer may be configured to identify text objects (such as warnings and error messages) in log files, to render the text objects in a display according to a registered style, and to define responses triggered by user interface interaction with the text objects. Embodiments may read portions of the log files and use plug-ins to identify, render, and respond as configured, according to the text objects found. Callback actions may provide a user more detailed information corresponding to the text object, such as a tool tip or contextual data, and may highlight and select a corresponding design object in a schematic displayed by an integrated electronic design automation application. An arbitration process may select the best callback action for a given log file.
