Alternative to getASCIWave but without file?

Hi,

I have a question on skill/viva/calculator. I think there is already a good way to display x/y values from a file in Viva using getAsciiWave, but if I have only a few points going with a file is too much effort (and files can get lost). Can I compose a set of points like this (x1,y1), (x2,y2), (x3,y3) on the fly and directly plot them into Viva? Or having a skill function which takes the x;s and y's as parameters to then do the plotting?

How can I create a waveform object from lists of x and y values?

It works very well, thanks!

I wonder is there also a way to apply specific settings e.g. for color, for thickness or style (like line vs points + point style)?

Stephan,

There aren’t hints that can be added to a waveform for all of these (there is some limited support for indicating whether it should be a spectral or joined line; I have an article on COS for this - can’t check as I’m on my phone).

If plotting the expression from ADE, then plotting templates would be the solution. If running from a script, you can do this with arguments to the plot() or awvPlotWaveform functions.

Thanks, Andrew.

My preferred solution is to have abMakeWaveform in my ADE output expressions, not using a script. So it looks the plotting template can be useful.
