Changing Default Settings

The default plot settings for the rectangular graph are not very helpful, so here is a short list of some changes you can make to the default plot style. Type any of these commands into the main Virtuoso (ICFB) window and press enter.

Set the Graph Window Width

envSetVal("viva.graphFrame" "width" 'string "900")

In this case we set the width to 900px.

Set the Graph Window Height

envSetVal("viva.graphFrame" "height" 'string "700")

In this case we set the height to 700px.

Set the Background to White

envSetVal("viva.rectGraph" "background" 'string "white")

Set the Background to Black

envSetVal("viva.rectGraph" "foreground" 'string "black")

Set the Axis Font Size

envSetVal("viva.axis" "font" 'string "Fixed [Misc],18,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0")

In this case the font size is set to 18pt.

Set the Marker Font Size

envSetVal("viva.pointMarker" "font" 'string "Fixed [Misc],12,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0")

In this case the font size is set to 12pt.

Set the Default Line Thickness

envSetVal("viva.trace" "lineThickness" 'string "thick")

In this case, we set it to thick. Other options include: extrathick, medium, and fine.

In this case we move the legend to above the graph. Other options include: left (default) and inside.
