The graphics commands examples given in documentation are unclear. I think the correct command should be $VTR_ROOT/vpr/vpr $VTR_ROOT/vtr_flow/arch/timing/EArch.xml $VTR_ROOT/vtr_flow/benchmarks/blif/tseng.blif --route_chan_width 100 --analysis --save_graphics on ----graphics_commands "save_graphics place.png;" .
