skill code to toggle waveform visibility

drdanmc

Hello,

I've found that it is not all that uncommon for me to have a simulation set up in ADE-L  (or ocean) that plots a moderate number of waveforms.  Often I find that the first thing I do is make them all invisible and then toggle on a few at a time.  I'd love it if I could set up a hot key or menu item that iterates over each waveform displayed in the current window and makes them invisible.

I've not really had any luck in digging through the manual to try and find any functions that give me access to the displayed traces and the ability to turn on/off visibility.  Does anyone have an example of accessing those objects that they could share?

Thanks in advance.

  • Hi Dan,

    Currently there isn't really a SKILL API to do this (certainly nothing public, and even amongst the private stuff it isn't really quite what you're after). I have an outstanding action to make a requirement specification for a SKILL API for ViVA that takes advantage of the way things are done now in ViVA rather than trying to bolt it on to the old awv API. Whilst out for a walk this afternoon (it's a public holiday here in the UK), I was thinking this through a bit more and have an outline in my head. Won't help you now, but at least it means that hopefully I'll have a proposal soon for R&D to consider.

    Anyway, thanks for your post - it might have finally pushed me to getting this done!

    Regards,

    Andrew.
