Create new Y-axis in plot ViVA using OCEAN

MatthewLove

In the ViVA GUI I can create a second Y-axis on the same plot for data which have very different Y values e.g. inductance and resistance.

Is there a way to do this using OCEAN?

  • If the units are different, they should plot on different y axes automatically (assuming you're using IC615 onwards). If you want to force it, you can use the ?yNumber argument:

    plot(v("net24") ?yNumber 1)
    plot(v("net25") ?yNumber 2)

    Hi Andrew,

    That solved it, thanks a lot.

    yNumber doesn't look to be in the documentation on IC 6.1.7.

    I'll add for anyone who reads this that for multiple plotted values with a single call to plot, yNumber must be a list.

    In this case Andrew's example would be

    plot(v("net24") v("net25") ?yNumber (list 1 2))

    Hi Matthew,

    Looks like a straightforward mistake. For a while (back in IC614/IC615 timeframe) the ?yNumber argument was not working with plot after we changed the graph infrastructure. There was a CCR to ask for the argument to be removed, but it wasn't restored with the functionality was fixed.

    ocnHelp('plot) still lists it, and I've asked tech pubs to put it back into the documentation.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
