Cadence Smith Chart Background Color

[userist]

Hello,

Does anyone know how to change background color of the smith chart in cadence? Black is hard to read.

I am looking for a way to change it permanently to grey (i.e each new graph should be grey)

Thanks,

This depends on the presentation tool you're using. In our wavescan tool there's a setup file wavescan.xml , where you can change the background color:

<JavaBean CLASS="COM.cadence.awd.graph.GraphManager">
  -<Properties>
    -<Property NAME="graphContainer">
      -<JavaBean CLASS="COM.cadence.awd.graph.GraphFrame">
        -<Properties>
          -<Property NAME="graph">
            -<JavaBean CLASS="COM.cadence.awd.graph.Rect2DGraph">
              -<Properties>
                 <Property NAME=[COLOR="#0000FF"]"backgroundName"[/COLOR]>black</Property>
                 <Property NAME="cursorOn">True</Property>
                 <Property NAME="dataSnapOn">False</Property>
...

Hi Erikl,

Where can I find the file you are mentioning? I am a cadence user in a server that has multiple users.

Thanks,

Depends on the setup. Simply search for the filename in the Cadence setup:

% find . -type f -name "wavescan.xml"

... or ask your CAD Mgr.

Hi erikl,

Thanks for your help.

Also is it possible to change the default line color and thickness?

Thanks.

Also is it possible to change the default line color and thickness?

Sure. AFAIR this is even possible from the Wavescan menu.

Erikl,

I want to chance the line color once and set it to default. Is there a way to do that?

Thanks.

I don't know, but I suppose so. Check the wavescan setUp file!
