<h1 id="developer-tools"><a class="header" href="#developer-tools">Developer tools</a></h1>
<p>The <code>halo2</code> crate includes several utilities to help you design and implement your
circuits.</p>
<h2 id="mock-prover"><a class="header" href="#mock-prover">Mock prover</a></h2>
<p><code>halo2_proofs::dev::MockProver</code> is a tool for debugging circuits, as well as cheaply verifying
their correctness in unit tests. The private and public inputs to the circuit are
constructed as would normally be done to create a proof, but <code>MockProver::run</code> instead
creates an object that will test every constraint in the circuit directly. It returns
granular error messages that indicate which specific constraint (if any) is not satisfied.</p>
<h2 id="circuit-visualizations"><a class="header" href="#circuit-visualizations">Circuit visualizations</a></h2>
<p>The <code>dev-graph</code> feature flag exposes several helper methods for creating graphical
representations of circuits.</p>
<p>On Debian systems, you will need the following additional packages:</p>
<pre><code class="language-plaintext">sudo apt install cmake libexpat1-dev libfreetype6-dev
</code></pre>
<h3 id="circuit-layout"><a class="header" href="#circuit-layout">Circuit layout</a></h3>
<p><code>halo2_proofs::dev::CircuitLayout</code> renders the circuit layout as a grid:</p>
<pre><code class="language-rust ignore no_run">fn main() {
// Prepare the circuit you want to render.
// You don't need to include any witness variables.
let a = Fp::random(OsRng);
let instance = Fp::one() + Fp::one();
let lookup_table = vec![instance, a, a, Fp::zero()];
let circuit: MyCircuit&lt;Fp&gt; = MyCircuit {
a: Value::unknown(),
lookup_table,
};
// Create the area you want to draw on.
// Use SVGBackend if you want to render to .svg instead.
use plotters::prelude::*;
let root = BitMapBackend::new(&quot;layout.png&quot;, (1024, 768)).into_drawing_area();
root.fill(&amp;WHITE).unwrap();
let root = root
.titled(&quot;Example Circuit Layout&quot;, (&quot;sans-serif&quot;, 60))
.unwrap();
halo2_proofs::dev::CircuitLayout::default()
// You can optionally render only a section of the circuit.
.view_width(0..2)
.view_height(0..16)
// You can hide labels, which can be useful with smaller areas.
.show_labels(false)
// Render the circuit onto your area!
// The first argument is the size parameter for the circuit.
.render(5, &amp;circuit, &amp;root)
.unwrap();
}
</code></pre>
<ul>
<li>Columns are laid out from left to right as instance, advice and fixed. The order of
columns is otherwise without meaning.
<ul>
<li>Instance columns have a white background.</li>
<li>Advice columns have a red background.</li>
<li>Fixed columns have a blue background.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Regions are shown as labelled green boxes (overlaying the background colour). A region
may appear as multiple boxes if some of its columns happen to not be adjacent.</li>
<li>Cells that have been assigned to by the circuit will be shaded in grey. If any cells are
assigned to more than once (which is usually a mistake), they will be shaded darker than
the surrounding cells.</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="circuit-structure"><a class="header" href="#circuit-structure">Circuit structure</a></h3>
<p><code>halo2_proofs::dev::circuit_dot_graph</code> builds a <a href="https://graphviz.org/doc/info/lang.html">DOT graph string</a> representing the given
circuit, which can then be rendered with a variety of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DOT_(graph_description_language)#Layout_programs">layout programs</a>. The graph is built
from calls to <code>Layouter::namespace</code> both within the circuit, and inside the gadgets and
chips that it uses.</p>
<pre><code class="language-rust ignore no_run">fn main() {
// Prepare the circuit you want to render.
// You don't need to include any witness variables.
let a = Fp::rand();
let instance = Fp::one() + Fp::one();
let lookup_table = vec![instance, a, a, Fp::zero()];
let circuit: MyCircuit&lt;Fp&gt; = MyCircuit {
a: None,
lookup_table,
};
// Generate the DOT graph string.
let dot_string = halo2_proofs::dev::circuit_dot_graph(&amp;circuit);
// Now you can either handle it in Rust, or just
// print it out to use with command-line tools.
print!(&quot;{}&quot;, dot_string);
}
</code></pre>
<h2 id="cost-estimator"><a class="header" href="#cost-estimator">Cost estimator</a></h2>
<p>The <code>cost-model</code> binary takes high-level parameters for a circuit design, and estimates
the verification cost, as well as resulting proof size.</p>
<pre><code class="language-plaintext">Usage: cargo run --example cost-model -- [OPTIONS] k
Positional arguments:
k 2^K bound on the number of rows.
Optional arguments:
-h, --help Print this message.
-a, --advice R[,R..] An advice column with the given rotations. May be repeated.
-i, --instance R[,R..] An instance column with the given rotations. May be repeated.
-f, --fixed R[,R..] A fixed column with the given rotations. May be repeated.
-g, --gate-degree D Maximum degree of the custom gates.
-l, --lookup N,I,T A lookup over N columns with max input degree I and max table degree T. May be repeated.
-p, --permutation N A permutation over N columns. May be repeated.
</code></pre>
<p>For example, to estimate the cost of a circuit with three advice columns and one fixed
column (with various rotations), and a maximum gate degree of 4:</p>
<pre><code class="language-plaintext">&gt; cargo run --example cost-model -- -a 0,1 -a 0 -a-0,-1,1 -f 0 -g 4 11
