verbose level
The verbose command adjusts the amount of output that qrouter generates while finding route solutions. This can be critical for the Tk console, because a significant amount of processing is involved with the formatting and printing of each line of text, and this can cause a slowdown of the routing solution. A level value of zero produces the least amount of text. Level 3 is the default, and provides a summary of the solutions found for each route completed. Beware of level 4, which will generate a tremendous amount of output and should probably be limited to use with individual net routes (using the "stage1 route" or "stage2 route" options), and only for diagnostic purposes.To bypass the Tk console completely, mitigating the effects of slowdowns due to text formatting and console synchronization, use the "-noconsole" command-line switch to qrouter. The level of verbose chosen will then have only minimal impact on the execution time of the routing.
verbose is implemented as a built-in command in the Tcl version of qrouter.
