Abstract

A computer-implemented method, system and computer program product for visualizing derived layer shapes of an integrated circuit design are disclosed. The computer-implemented method, system and computer program product include visualizing the derived layer shapes on a layout canvas; providing a step by step process for visualizing each derived layer shape as each derived layer shape is generated; and providing a hierarchy of intermediate derived layers based upon the step by step process.
