creating a schematic file from a netlist file

Hi,

I am looking to create a skill program which could generate a schematic file from a given netlist file(present in text format).

netlist will be more of digital gate instances connected together.

Does anyone have idea or process how it can be done? A sample code would be great help.

 

Thanks,

Srinivasa
