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.

  • Thanks for the quick reply. I'm not surprised that currently I can't quite get there from here. There seemed to be too many gaps. I'll look forward to something in the future.

    BTW, if you'd like some customer review/feedback on any proposal, I'd be happy to look it over. In general the ViVA skill API could certainly benefit from an expansion. There are some things like my initial question where having a skill way to do what the GUI can currently do would be nice and there are some other places where you just can't do it at all but it would be nice to see. One example of this latter category would be a hook for defining a function that goes between the tracking cursor and marker reading a value and what is displayed. A simple textbook case would be on a smith chart to convert between reflection coefficient and impedance or admittance but I've had some other non-textbook cases where I had a different mapping function. Custom grids would be cool too. A textbook example would be a Nichols chart and I have a non-textbook example that is of some interest.

    Enjoy the holiday.
