OCEAN write generic procedure to plot waveforms

Well, sprintf returns a string, so you can't just pass that to plot. In general trying to do run-time evaluation of a macro like plot is going to be problematic, so I'd suggest that  you do:

procedure(my_procedure(signal signal_name strip)
  awvPlotWaveform(currentWindow() || newWindow() list(signal) ?expr list(signal_name) ?stripNumber list(strip))
  ; hardCopy stuff
)

So use the underlying function.

Hi Andrew,

Thanks you very much for your answer. It seems to be working !

Do you have any documentation on the awvPlotWaveform function ? I can't find anything in the manual.

What is the difference with the Plot function ?

Thanks,

Damien

It's documented. In IC615 it's in <ICinstDir>/doc/vivaxlskill/vivaxlskill.pdf (and cdnshelp would find it). In IC5141 it's in <ICinstDir>/doc/skartistref/skartistref.pdf (I searched in cdsdoc, and found it).

The plot() function has some convient options - it will create a window if one doesn't exist already, and you can just do plot(sig1 sig2 sig3) for example - the awvPlotWaveform() is a bit more verbose.

 Hi Andrew,

Alright. Does it mean that the plot() macro is kind of wrapper for awvPlotWaveform() function ?

I will look at the documentation tomorrow - I only looked at OCEAN Refence and SKILL Language Reference and SKILL User's Guide maual. Thanks a lot for your help.

Effectively, yes. It's actually a wrapper around either awvSimplePlotWaveform or awvPlotExpression - which are all very similar to awvPlotWaveform.

 Hi Andrew,

Thanks for the details !

I have another question regarding the plot. I would like to change the defaults size of the graph being saved.

I tried creating a window using the syntax you gave a few times :

awvCreatePlotWindow(?bBox list(100:100 1000:600))

But when I open the plot image, it is still a 800 x 600 graph.

I also tweaked my .cdsenv to make Viva to plot to large window using the following settings :

viva.graphFrame width string "1920"
viva.graphFrame height string "1152"

It works, when I run OCEAN without the -nograph option, the graph is plotted to a big OCEAN window, but it still saved to a 800 x 600px.

 I'm running Cadence 6.1.5.162

Thanks,

Damien
