schPlot

schPlot( 
[ t_file ]
[ w_windowId ]
)
=> t / nil

Description

Generates a plot. The plot is defined in the t_file plot template file. If you do not specify t_file, this function uses the plot options stored in the schPlotOptions property list. If you backannotate the schematic and you specify w_windowId, the generated plot has backannotated values.

A .cdsplotinit file describing the plotter must be available in one of the following:

• your home directory
• $install_dir/tools/plot/.cdsplotinit
• $cwd/ .cdsplotinit
• $HOME/ .cdsplotinit

A sample .cdsplotinit file is available in

your_install_dir/tools/plot/samples/cdsplotinit.sample

Two sample template files are available in

your_install_dir/tools/dfII/samples/plot/schPlot.il 

your_install_dir/tools/dfII/samples/plot/schMetPlot.il

Arguments

t_file	A plot template file that stores plot options in a disembodied property list named schPlotOptions; must be enclosed in quotation marks.
w_windowId	Window ID in which the schematic is backannotated.

Value Returned

t	Generated a plot.
nil	Could not generate plot.

Examples

From window 2, generates the plot using the plotTemplate template file with backannotated values.

schPlot( "plotTemplate" window(2))
