Introduction to Circuit SketcherDraw

Circuit SketcherDraw is designed to interpret Verilog code, a hardware description language widely used in electronic design automation. Its primary purpose is to generate visual representations of circuits from Verilog code snippets. This involves translating structures and logic defined in Verilog into schematic diagrams that visually illustrate modules, inputs, outputs, wires, and logic gates. For instance, if provided with Verilog code defining a simple AND gate circuit with inputs and an output, Circuit SketcherDraw would produce a diagram showing the AND gate, its connections to the inputs, and the output wire.
