Abstract:
1. A method for selectively displaying user interface configurations comprising: generating at least two user interfaces respectively configured for different types of data view representations for a circuit design shared in common between said at least two user interfaces, said user interfaces configured to selectively include different corresponding sets of graphical user-operable controls, one set different relative to the other; storing in a persistent storage system, through a reference to a data view representation, a list for each user interface defining a set of adjustable configurations of said graphical user-operable controls; each said data view representation comprising a cellview for at least one abstraction level of representation for said circuit design; retrieving said list for a corresponding user interface from said persistent storage system by said reference responsive to selection of a data view representation of said circuit design; and, displaying said corresponding user interface adaptively configured based on the type of said data view representation selected, said corresponding set of said graphical user-operable controls configured in accordance with said retrieved list specific to the selected data view representation.
