What is the setup in .cdsplotinit to create waveform window to *.png?

Reinice
Hi All,

I used
hardCopyOptions(?hcOutputFile "myGraph.png")

hardCopy()

to create waveform window to *.png but I' am having an error telling that I need a .cdsplotinit. I don't know how to setup .cdsplotinit for this and I don't know where to find .cdsplotinit.

Can anyone please help. Thanks in advance.

Thanks and Regards,

Reinice

  • Reinice,

    Unfortunately it's a historical thing - there's a CCR to address the need for a .cdsplotinit (it shouldn't be needed in this case because you're not using it).

    It's covered in the plotting documentation, but the simplest thing is to create a ~/.cdsplotinit with the following contents:

     Encapsulated PostScript|Encapsulated PostScript: \
            :manufacturer=Adobe: \
            :type=epsf: \
            :resolution#300: \
            :maximumPages#1: \
            :paperSize="5x5 inches" 1500 1500: \
            :paperSize="8x8 inches" 2400 2400: \
            :paperSize="Unlimited" 72000 72000:

    This is primarily intended for printing from schematics and layout - this entry just defines a "printer" for outputting EPS.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
