Sootty is a novel graphical waveform viewer targeted at modern terminals, however, it currently only supports VCD format and decimal system, not fully supporting markers or cursors. In this project, Sootty will support more mainstream input formats, common numerical systems when displaying numbers, and markers. These enhancement features are limited to what terminals can display, but they will be faster and easier to use than a complex graphical user interface for terminal users. Sootty will integrate numerical system converters and different format interpreters to realize these features.
