VIVA Skill Functions

netbug
netbug over 9 years ago

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

    My very last question on this.

    At last I was able to put everything into a function and now I would like to set a bindkey for my custom function.

    Best regards,

    José

    José,

    Isn't that just hiSetBindKey() with appropriate arguments? Not sure what you're not sure about...

    Andrew.

    I am sorry I am really new to SKILL.

    You are right it was just a matter of using hiSetBindKey("vivaGraph" "<Key>S" "myfunc") :-)

    Cheers,

    José
