How to expand (uncollapse) waveforms (before saving them in Viva)

leok

Hi,

I'm setting up my waveforms in a Viva plot via skill to save them for a report.

But I couldn't find any method to expand them (like clicking on the left bubble for a family of waveforms).

The best workaround is plotting them one by one without families, but this is tedious... (and the templates most likely, but I try to avoid them as I cannot modify them by skill easily)

Is there a Skill command for doing so?

Best Regards,

leo

    Leo,

    If you use this:

    envSetVal("viva.rectGraph" "expandParamGroups" 'string "true")

    before opening the ViVA graph window, then families will be expanded by default. Hopefully that helps?

    Hi,

    Thanks a lot!

    Eventually there is an open VIVA when the user starts the script - then it would fail - but otherwise that is a good (and good enough) solution to me!

    Best Regards,
