Setting up used defined graph properties

Darshak
Darshak over 11 years ago

 Dear Team,

I am facing too much problem for setting up graph properites again and again like font size, background color, marker fonts etc.

 Can you please guide me how can i permenantly configure my default graph setting so that it will not change for every graph.

I am using cadence 6.1.5

 Please answers my doubts. I am posting many post but not getting answer. Otherwise provide your customer care email. Why cadence is not that much userfriendly.

Regards,

Darshak

    There are .cdsenv variables that can be used to load your desired defaults.  These are all defined in Appendix A of the ViVA User Guide (http://support.cadence.com/wps/PA_DocumentViewer/pubs/vivaxlug/vivaxlug6.1.6/appA.html#1052258).

    For the specific items that you mentioned, you can use the following in your .cdsenv file to set the background color to white:

    viva.rectGraph foreground string "white"

    or the equivalent command in your .cdsinit file:

    envSetVal("viva.rectGraph" "foreground" 'string "white")

    Similarly there are a number of .cdsenv variables that allow you to customize the various fonts that are used in the waveform window:

    viva.graph titleFont string "Default,10,-1,5,55,0,0,0,0,0"

    viva.traceLegend font string ""

    viva.traceLegend printSaveImageFont string ""

    viva.axis font string "Default,10,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0"

    viva.horizMarker font string "Default,10,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0"

    viva.referenceLineMarker font string "Default,10,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0"

    viva.vertMarker font string "Default,10,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0"

    viva.pointMarker font string "Default,10,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0"

    viva.refPointMarker font string "Default,10,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0"

    viva.specMarker font string "Default,10,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0"

    viva.interceptMarker font string "Default,10,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0"

    viva.circleMarker font string "Default,10,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0"

    viva.multiDeltaMarker font string "Default,10,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0"

    viva.transEdgeMarker font string "Default,10,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0"

    viva.graphLabel font string "Default,10,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0"

    viva.polarGrid font string "Default,10,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0"

    viva.smithGrid font string "Default,10,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0"

    viva.regionBookmark font string "Default,10,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0"

    viva.xrangeBookmark font string "Default,10,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0"

    For these variables, the font string is

    <Font family>, <Point size>, <Pixel size>, <Style hint>, <Weight>, <Style>, <Underline>, <Strikeout>, <Fixed pitch>, <Raw mode>

    so you can increase the size of the font by increasing the second item in the string.

    Darshak,

    rfLib is in exactly the same place under the IC61X installation.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
