Virtuoso Video Diary: The SKILLed Way of Using Plotting Templates

You have been using maestro plotting templates for quite some time now. You would agree that using these templates really saves a lot of time that you would otherwise have spent doing plot customizations manually. But have you tried working with these templates using SKILL functions?

Well, if you haven't, read through this blog to know more about these functions:

maeGetAllPlottingTemplates

The maeGetAllPlottingTemplates function returns a list of plotting templates saved in a specified session. It also displays various other information about these templates, such as placeholder history, time of creation, and the description.

maePlotWithPlottingTemplate

The maePlotWithPlottingTemplate function plots the results of a history using the specified plotting template. The results of the history are plotted in accordance with the customization saved in the specified plotting template.

maeSaveImagesUsingPlottingTemplate

The maeSaveImagesUsingPlottingTemplate function not only plots the results of a history by using the specified template, but saves the graph windows or subwindows as image files in the specified directory too. You can also choose whether you want to save these graph windows in a single file or in separate files.

 Do check out the SKILL Functions to Work with Plotting Templates video to know how to use these functions.
