OCEAN write generic procedure to plot waveforms

The Setlaz

 Hi,

 

I'm trying to write a generic procedure to plot waveform that takes the plot macro parameters as procedure input arguments.

Basically, I want something like this :

procedure( my_procedure(  signal signal_name strip ...stuff... )

    plot( sprintf( "%s ?expr '("%s") ?strip "%d" " signal signal_name strip ) )

    ...stuff...

    hardCopy...stuff

);procedure

 

It seems like I cannot plot something out of a sprintf because sprintf does not return an object, right ?

Is there any way to get that working ?

 

Thanks,

Damien

     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
