Abstract
A method and apparatus for characterizing information about design attributes is described. The characterization process may begin with determining the dependency among the attributes within a hardware design. Once the dependency is determined, the most relevant information about the hardware design attribute may be highlighted. A user can then focus their attention on the highlighted aspects of the design attribute to draw conclusions about the hardware design as a whole.
