Working on making the render look at little nicer.
It should be technically possible to have coloring of the cells per hierarchical level which would make this a lot more interesting to look at, for the cases where the synthesizer doesn't flatten everything.

You just can't help staring at it, it's so satisfying. But yeah, that one has to be one of my favorites so far.

There is a debug mode for openroad `global_placement` that captures a floorplan render (from the GUI). I am working on cleaning this up and opening a PR for this on librelane. Right now this is one of my custom librelane steps.
