# Formatting and drawing
|
|
|
|
## Formatting
|
|
|
|
You can convert your compiled circuit into its textual representation by converting it to string:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
str(circuit)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you just want to see the output on your terminal, you can directly print it as well:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
print(circuit)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
{% hint style="warning" %}
|
|
Formatting is just for debugging purposes. It's not possible to create the circuit back from its textual representation. See [How to Deploy](../guides/deploy.md) if that's your goal.
|
|
{% endhint %}
|
|
|
|
## Drawing
|
|
|
|
{% hint style="danger" %}
|
|
Drawing functionality requires the installation of the package with the full feature set. See the [Installation](../get-started/installing.md) section to learn how to do that.
|
|
{% endhint %}
|
|
|
|
You can use the `draw` method of your compiled circuit to draw it:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
drawing = circuit.draw()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This method will draw the circuit on a temporary PNG file and return the path to this file.
|
|
|
|
You can show the drawing in a Jupyter notebook, like this:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from PIL import Image
|
|
drawing = Image.open(circuit.draw())
|
|
drawing.show()
|
|
drawing.close()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Or, you can use the `show` option of the `draw` method to show the drawing with `matplotlib`.
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
circuit.draw(show=True)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
{% hint style="danger" %}
|
|
Beware that this will clear the matplotlib plots you have.
|
|
{% endhint %}
|
|
|
|
Lastly, you can save the drawing to a specific path:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
destination = "/tmp/path/of/your/choice.png"
|
|
drawing = circuit.draw(save_to=destination)
|
|
assert drawing == destination
|
|
```
