| If ran openroad without gui, can I bring gui on later on after few steps from flow.tcl? I could save the design db and then open that design in gui, but I am just wondering if I can bring gui on from within openroad prompt. | |
| 1) openroad -log log | |
| 2) source <my_design>.tcl | |
| 3) After few steps of flow | |
| 4) I want to open the design in gui | |

| You can open the gui at anytime with `gui::show` | |

| This works like a charm. Thank you for comment. | |

| FYI you can go the other way with "Hide GUI": | |
