### rivet - Register / Instruction Visualizer and Explainer Tool
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## Introduction
|
|
|
|
This tool lets you generate visual explanations of binary instructions, or describe the contents of a register.
|
|
|
|
The layout and style can be customized to fit your needs.
|
|
|
|
For a full description of the schema format, please check out [format.md](format.md)
|
|
|
|
## Requirements
|
|
|
|
- [Python 3+](https://www.python.org/)
|
|
- [Pygame](https://pypi.org/project/pygame/) - used to render the images
|
|
- [Beautiful Soup 4](https://pypi.org/project/beautifulsoup4/) - used to parse XML files
|
|
- [PyYAML](https://pypi.org/project/PyYAML/) - used to parse YAML files
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
Basic usage:
|
|
```bash
|
|
python3 main.py schema.xml
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Directory mode + config:
|
|
```bash
|
|
python3 main.py -o out/ -c config.json -d schemas/
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Options
|
|
|
|
Several command line options are available:
|
|
- `-o PATH` sets the output path. If not given, the output file will be located in the same directory as the input file, and given the same name (different extension)
|
|
- `-d` enables directory mode. If set, the input and output paths are directories and all files inside the input directory are processed
|
|
- `-c PATH` sets the config path. For more details on available config parameters, please read the [Config section](#config).
|
|
|
|
## Examples

|
|
|
The following images were generated from this schema ([example1.yaml](example1.yaml)):

## Config
|
|
|
|
The config file may change the following values to customize the layout and style:
|
|
- `defaultFontFamily`: the default font family
|
|
- `defaultFontSize`: the default font size
|
|
- `italicFontFamily`: the italic font family (for value description)
|
|
- `italicFontSize`: the italic font size
|
|
- `backgroundColor`: the image background color (ex: [222, 250, 206])
|
|
- `textColor`: the default text color
|
|

|
|
- `arrowLabelDistance`: the distance between arrows and their label (in pixels)
|
|
- `forceDescsOnSide`: if true, descriptions are placed on the side of the register, otherwise, they are placed as close as possible to the bit
|
|
