default settings for ViVa waveform viewer

vivkr

Is there any way to change/define default settings for ViVa waveform viewer? I usually start my simulations with a script instead of directly via ADE-L and view the results using the standalone ViVa viewer.

As I typically want to save the plots for embedding in reports, I need to make the traces fatter ("bold") which is very painful if one has to do it by hand for all the curves. 

How can I change this so that the traces are plotted bold by default? I'd also be glad to know what other settings I can modify at ViVa startup.

Thanks,

Vivek

     Thats interesting when i select help-->contents and search for 

    "wavescan.trace" it can find that anywhere.

     

    If i search on "line" I do find

    viva.trace lineThickness tring "fine" nil

    Which when i place this in the cdsenv file  changing the fine to bold and correcing the misspelled "tring" it doesn't work until you remove the "nil" from the back end.

    This works from the command line,

    envSetVal("viva.trace" "lineThickness" 'string "medium")
