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.

-Dan

    Hi Andrew

    Thank you for the reply. I was just lucky to find such expression.

    I really admire your ability to manage all of these SKILL APIs, it's a huge effort to do this.
    And your precise answers in the posts are really helpful. I am impressed about all the details you listed there.
    I'd like to follow you and make some contribution to the community.

    I take a look at the source code from my colleague. There is no API to get the selected signals.
    It's my wrong assumption.
    Actually, he import all the signals from the ViVA into a form, and then do the selection there.

    I assume this is not what Dan want.

    Hope to see some new public APIs from ViVA itself. Most of them are private right now.

    Best Regards

    Yi
