Is there a suggested way to use the OpenROAD GUI to view routing congestion when using the OpenLane flow? I found the undocumented
flow.tcl -gui
which appears to do what I want but the GUI immediately closes and it appears to start a new run first. I want to few the congestion of a previous failed run. I suspect I need to manually position some macros.

You can run
openroad -gui
inside the docker

The solution I found was to run
./flow.tcl -design ucaspian -tag floorplan -to floorplan -overwrite
then
./flow.tcl -design ucaspian -tag floorplan -gui
Where
-tag
allows to specify the run and
-gui
essentially runs the OpenROAD GUI but is a little easier then manually running
openroad -gui
