Abstract
A system for graphics generation includes a processor configured to implement a modeling process and a GUI process. The modeling process is configured to generate a first graphics model including a plurality of objects. Each object defines a respective graphical depiction for a respective element of a programmable IC. The modeling process is also configured to serialize objects of the first graphics model according to a first application programming interface (API) definition file to produce a serialized graphics model. The GUI process is configured to, in response to receiving one or more objects of the serialized graphics model, deserialize the one or more objects of the serialized graphics model according to the first API definition file to produce a second graphics model. The GUI process is further configured to render the one or more objects of the second graphics model.
