The following table displays information for the report_timing_tree Tcl command:

Tcl Package and Version

Belongs to ::quartus::sta

Syntax report_timing_tree [-h | -help] [-long_help] [-fall_from <names> ] [-fall_from_clock <names> ] [-fall_through <names> ] [-fall_to <names> ] [-fall_to_clock <names> ] [-from <names> ] [-from_clock <names> ] [-hold] [-intra_clock] [-less_than_slack <slack limit> ] [-npaths <number> ] [-nworst <number> ] [-pairs_only] -panel_name <name> [-recovery] [-removal] [-rise_from <names> ] [-rise_from_clock <names> ] [-rise_through <names> ] [-rise_to <names> ] [-rise_to_clock <names> ] [-setup] [-through <names> ] [-to <names> ] [-to_clock <names> ]
Arguments -h | -help Short help
-long_help Long help with examples and possible return values
-fall_from <names> Valid sources (string patterns are matched using Tcl string matching)
-fall_from_clock <names> Valid source clocks (string patterns are matched using Tcl string matching)
-fall_through <names> Valid through nodes (string patterns are matched using Tcl string matching)
-fall_to <names> Valid destinations (string patterns are matched using Tcl string matching)
-fall_to_clock <names> Valid destination clocks (string patterns are matched using Tcl string matching)
-from <names> Valid sources (string patterns are matched using Tcl string matching)
-from_clock <names> Valid source clocks (string patterns are matched using Tcl string matching)
-hold Option to report clock hold paths
-intra_clock Only report paths whose launch and latch clock are the same
-less_than_slack <slack limit> Limit the paths reported to those with slack values less than the specified limit.
-npaths <number> Specifies the number of paths to report (default=1, or the same value as nworst, if nworst is specified. Value of 0 causes all paths to be reported but be wary that this may be slow)
-nworst <number> Specifies the maximum number of paths to report for each endpoint. If unspecified, there is no limit. If nworst is specified, but npaths is not, npaths defaults to the same value as nworst
-pairs_only When set, paths with the same start and end points are considered equivalent. Only the worst case path for each unique combination is displayed.
-panel_name <name> Report panel_name
-recovery Option to report recovery paths
-removal Option to report removal paths

Description 
Reports the worst-case paths and associated slack grouped by design
entity. Each entity level indicates the worst-case slack and number
of paths at that level.

Use the "-setup", "-hold", "-recovery", or "-removal" options to
specify which kind of analysis should be performed.

Use the "-panel_name" option to direct the report to the Timing Analyzer
graphical user interface.

You can limit the analysis performed by this command to specific 
start and end points, using the "-from" and "-to" options. Use the 
"-rise_from" and "-fall_from" options to limit the analysis to 
endpoints with established high or low starting states. Use the 
"rise_to" and "fall_to" options to limit the analysis to 
destination points with high or low ending states. 		

The analysis can be further limited to clocks using the "-from_clock" 
and "-to_clock"	options, or to specific edges of the clock using the
"-rise_from_clock", "-fall_from_clock", "-rise_to_clock", and
"-fall_to_clock" options.  

Additionally, the "-through" option can be used to restrict analysis 
to paths which go through specified pins or nets. Use the "rise_through" 
and "fall_through" options to limit the analysis to intermediate points 
with high or low ending states.		

Use "-npaths" to limit the number of paths to report.  If you do not
specify this option, only the single worst-case path is provided.  Use
the "-less_than_slack" option to limit output to all paths with slack
less than the specified value, up to the number specified by
"-npaths".

Use "-nworst" to limit the number of paths reported for each unique
endpoint.  If you do not specify this option, the number of paths
reported for each destination node is bounded only by the "-npaths"
option.  If this option is used, but "-npaths" is not specified, then
"-npaths" will default to the same value specified for "-nworst".

Use the "-pairs_only" option to filter the output further, restricting
the results to only unique combinations of start and end points.

The values of the "-from", "-to", and "-through" options are either 
collections or a Tcl list of wildcards used to create collections 
of appropriate types. The values used must follow standard Tcl or 
Timing Analyzer-extension substitution rules.  See the help for 
use_timing_analyzer_style_escaping for details.
