PAE Contours

illaoi

I was looking for a post that explains if we can plot PAE Contours on smith chart, found this post PAE Contour - RF Design - Cadence Technology Forums - Cadence Community, but didn't help. 

I am running hb an PA and have selected Loadpull with proper variable for rho and phi. In Direct Plot Form, obviously Power Contours shows constant power on smith chart, though Power Added Eff., shows PAE versus the variable that sweeps the load impedance.

Is there a simple way to plot PAE counters for the same setup and color match with power contours on one smith chart?
