Default colours in WaveScan

Grover
Grover over 16 years ago

I'm using WaveScan 5.10.41 to plot simulation data. Now whenever I plot more than one signal in the same graph, it automatically assigns colours to each trace. However, these colours are often not unique! For example, when I plot four different signals, I get traces coloured:

-White
-Orange
-Purple
-Orange

Which makes it kind of difficult to distinguish between traces #2 and #4. If I change the colours manually, there are 32 colours available, so it's not like it ran out of colours after the third trace. Is there any way to make WaveScan use different colours for each trace?

    Hi,

    Sorry for the long gap...  I think that the following Solution may help, it is for plotting waveforms in specific colours.  I believe it should work in WaveScan or AWD.
