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

    I did some search, and quite lucky find an API to hide/show the waveform. It's:

    awvSetWaveformDisplayStatus(
    w_windowId
    x_waveIndex
    g_enable
    [ ?subwindow x_subwindow ]
    )
    => t / nil

    you may use "awvGetCurrentWindow()" to get the waveform w_windowId;
    and use "awvGetWaveNameList(w_windowId)" to have a list which contains the "x_waveIndex" for all the waveforms in the current window.
    and then "g_enable" is used to control show(t)/hide(nil) the waveform.

    I give it for a try, it works.

    You still need to find the APIs to get the waveIndex for the selected waveforms.
    According to my colleagues' script, it's feasible. (I did not check the source code, but his script interacts with the selected waveforms)

    Good luck.

    Best Regards
