VIVA Skill Functions

netbug

Good afternoon,

I am using quite intensively VIVA, and I would like to create some bindkeys for the main functions I am using.

So I would like to do the following (not ordered by priority)

1 - Change Font from created labels, or when creating a label automatically use a given font and size

2 - Save the images to a PNG file with a name generated automatically, that can have any format

For eg. the name of the file could look like "test_13Mar2016_01", "test 13Mar2016_02, etc". 

If you could refer to a manual having skill functions for VIVA, I would appreciate.

Many thanks,

Pedro

  • The awvGetWindowTitle() approach I mentioned earlier would get the info about the test name from the tab if used in ADE XL. In my case, my tests are called "AC" and "TRAN", and depending on the selected VIVA window I get:

    awvGetWindowTitle(currentWindow()) => "AC : opamp090 full_diff_opamp_AC schematic"

    awvGetWindowTitle(currentWindow()) => "TRAN : opamp090 full_diff_opamp_TRAN schematic"

    So ADE XL names the window with the test name and the test bench.

    You can get the test names from ADE XL using:

    axlSess=axlGetWindowSession()
    sdb=axlGetMainSetupDB(axlSess)
    testNames=cadr(axlGetTests(sdb))

    but this has to be done when the ADE XL window is the current window, and it would give you a list of all the test names, so I'm not sure it's useful.

    For the font information, this is covered in detail in the documentation. It's pretty easy to find, but if you bring up Help->Virtuoso Documentation Library, then make sure that View->Show Navigation is enabled (not hidden), and then search in the left pane for "Font String" (include the quotation marks) you should find it. Or you could search for graphLabel - it's pretty easy to locate.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
