How to access and modify the display properties of a trace in ViVA?

Zol

Is there a way to access and change the properties of a trace, such as color, linestyle, symbols with SKILL? 

I have not found in the documentation and in cdsFinder how to access these data. An arbitrary trace in my ViVA has the following parameters:

car(waveList)~>?
("leafDataPath" "leafSignalName" "leafAnalysisType" "leafDataSet" "leafSignalTypeName"
"TIMESTAMPID" "#maeCorner" "#maeDesignPoint" "#maeTestName" "#maeHistoryName"
"srrWriter_AltName"
)

  • No, unfortunately not. It's not an attribute or property of the waveform object itself, but is associated with the trace data (the same waveform object can be plotted multiple times in different colors, linestyles, symbols etc). There is only limited support for accessing features of the ViVA object model; many of the APIs are legacy from the old AWV waveform tool for compatibility, and I've asked in the past for a new set of functions to properly represent the current tool implementation. It's a fairly major project to do this, and unfortunately has not happened yet.

    Regards,
