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,

    You do not need to put anything specific in the .cdsplotinit to save to png or jpg. You just have to have a .cdsplotinit existing - as I said, this is a rather odd need, but it's because the OCEAN interface to producing an image is performed via the printing API - even though it doesn't actually using the printing capability within ViVA at all.

    We are considering separating the API to save images from the hardCopy() function - the problem is that we're overloading both printing and saving of images into a single API, which over-complicates things. This is a historical decision, but with the increased flexibility we have in IC615 for saving images, it is making less sense now.

    So, if you use the .cdsplotinit I provided above - or indeed any .cdsplotinit - you will be able to save images in any format using the SKILL API.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
