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

  •  Dear Jeff,

     > Some of the viva settings seem relevant based on names but don't seem to have any effect.

    The number of variables that are actually implemented is limited.To find out which variables are available to set, look in the following file:

    <IC615_install_dir>/tools/dfII/etc/tools/viva/.cdsenv

    The variables that are not commented out have been implemented.

    To modify the variables permanently from your .cdsinit file, I've included a sample of the section of my .cdsinit file:

    ; ViVa default fonts to Clean

    ; Added from Wayne Ingram's note on 7/24/2013
    ;
    ; If customer is setting font related cdsenv variables in .cdsinit (via envSetVal API),
    ; there's a requirement to load the 'viva' context _before_ any envSetVal call is made.
    ; This can be achieved by the following in the .cdsinit file:

    loadContext(strcat(prependInstallPath("etc/context/") "viva.cxt"))
    callInitProc("viva")

    envSetVal("viva.graph" "titleFont" 'string "Clean,12,-1,5,55,0,0,0,0,0")
    envSetVal("viva.axis" "font" 'string "Clean,12,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0")
    envSetVal("viva.horizMarker" "font" 'string "Clean,12,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0")

    I hope this helps,

    Shawn
