I want to create a program to parse Verilog and display a block diagram. Can someone help me regarding what algorithms I need to look into? I found a good Verilog parser, but now I need to find the relation between each block and place them accordingly. It does not have to be extensively optimized.
UPDATE:
for now I am using ironPython to draw the block diagram in Visio.
Yosys is an open source verilog synthesis tool. It can also be used to analyze designs and create schematics (using GraphViz). See the screenshots on the webpage:
If I understand your requirements correctly, Yosys already does what you want. If you still want to write your own program, you could use Yosys as a reference to get you started.

You could try using the Altera synthesis too, EASE, HDL designer, Synplify HDL Analyst, nSchema, or Xilinx PlanAhead.
