Unable to change the color of VIVA plot's curves

SurajK 10 months ago

I am trying to change the color of the VIVA plot using SKILL command but I am unable to.

I am going with the command

envSetVal("viva.trace" "hiliteColor" 'string "blue")

But no matter what I do its always plotting in default color which is red.

Also I noticed that I am able to control the linethichkness and linestyle using SKILL code

envSetVal("viva.trace" "lineThickness" 'string "Thick")
envSetVal("viva.trace" "lineStyle" 'string "Dot")

Is there any other command in SKILL to change the VIVA plot's line trace or is the SKILL code used above not implemented yet in Cadence?

Can someone please help me with this?

Thanks

envSetVal("viva.graph" "colorBank" 'string "blue")

will do this. Or:

envSetVal("viva.graph" "colorBank" 'string "yellow; green; blue")

will cycle through those three colours. I don't think the hiliteColor is used any more (the documentation is not very clear on this, I agree).

Also, could you please let me know if there is a command to set the title of the ViVA graph that I am plotting?

Right now I am doing the ?expr strcat("Trace Label") which sets the label of the curve that I am plotting. Is there any command to give a title to the whole subwindow?
