Cadence Viva Plots - customizing default legend display

firebolt over 3 years ago

In Viva plot, by default legend entries are Vis & modelFiles. How to change it to History to appear by default?

Dear firebolt,

All of the ViVA environmental variables that are active for your installation version are in the example .cdsenv file provided a the UNIX install directory path:

./tools.lnx86/dfII/samples/viva/.cdsenv

I checked on my installation and searched for all the legend related variables. I found the following. None of these appear to address the default Legend options to ddisplay.

$ pwd
/tools/virtuoso/20.1.ISR26/tools.lnx86/dfII/samples/viva
$ grep -i legend .cdsenv
viva.traceLegend showVisColumn string "true"
viva.traceLegend font string "Default,10,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0"
viva.traceLegend printSaveImageFont string ""
viva.traceLegend showTraceTooltips string "true"
viva.rectGraph legendPosition string "left"
viva.rectGraph eyeDiagramLegendPosition string "above"
viva.circGraph legendPosition string "left"
viva.tableGraph legendPosition string "above"
viva.histogramTrace combinedLegendPosition string "left"
$

I also checked the ViVA User Guide (Appendix A) at URL:

and did not find any additional legend related controls. I also tried to save a window as both a Maestro Template and a ".grf" file with the "History" legend visibility set on and off. However, in both the case of the two Maestro Templates and two "grf" files, the setting was not saved. Hence, it appears not only is this not a programmable option, but once set, it is not saved in a plotting Template nor a .grf" file.

Perhaps other experts will know of a way to allow you to save the visibility options, but I, unfortunately, was not able to - sorry firebolt!
