Load .cdsenv.viva on the .cdsinit whitout overwrite default configuration

Hi,

I want to load a customize .cdsenv.viva file on the .cdsinit but without overwriting any previous viva configuration. My intention is only to change some settings but keep previous settings. It works changing by using envSetVAl on .cdsinit but when I load the .cdsenv.viva with the same configuration, it looks that I overwrote the total viva configuration and not only the settings I defined.

For example:

When I load these on the .cdsinit:

envSetVal("viva.graph"       "traceMarkerSigDigitsMode" 'string "Manual")
envSetVal("viva.graph"       "traceMarkerSignificantDigits" 'string "4")

it looks fine.

But, when I load :  envLoadFile(.cdsenv.viva) on the .cdsinit with the following lines on the cdsenv.viva:

 viva.graph             traceMarkerSigDigitsMode string "Manual"
 viva.graph             traceMarkerSignificantDigits string "4"

The interface changes completely.

I'd like to be able to set viva configuration by loading the customize .cdsenv.viva file since with that way, I can have all the viva configuration on the file and just comment all and uncommented what I'm changing.

Could you please help me?

    That doesn't make sense to me - I can't see why these two approaches would be different. It might be related to the order things are done in, but another approach might be to use:

    envLoadVals(?envFile ".cdsenv.viva" ?tool "viva")

    Does that make a difference? I don't entirely understand (from your description) exactly what you mean by "The interface changes completely".

    Andrew.

    Hi Andrew,

    Thanks for your answer With "The interface changes completely", I meant that the font changed and the line width changes to thick. But I was looking for the issue and I saw that I forgot commenting lines on the customize .cdsenv.viva file. Those lines were changing the font and everything else. Now I'm loading with envLoadFile or envLoadVals and works fine.

    Thank you for your help,

    Jorge
