Curve Command

Curve can be used to add a new curve to an existing graph created with Plot or to change the way it is displayed.

Parameters

/autoaxis

If specified, the new curve will be plotted on a digital axis and will be plotted as a bus curve. type may be 'hex', 'dec' or 'bin' specifying hexadecimal, decimal or binary display respectively.

/autoXlog

/autoYlog

/axisid

If specified, the new curve will be added to a y-axis with the id specified by axis_id. Axis id is returned by the functions GetAllYAxes , GetCurveAxis and GetSelectedYAxis .

/bus

If specified, the new curve will be plotted on a digital axis and will be plotted as a bus curve. type may be 'hex', 'dec' or 'bin' specifying hexadecimal, decimal or binary display respectively.

/coll

Does nothing. For compatibility with version 3.1 and earlier.

/dig

If specified, new curve will be plotted on new digital axis. Digital axes are stacked on top of main axes and are sized and labelled appropriately for digital waveforms.

/icb

Specifies the internal clipboard as the source of the curve data. clipboard-index is a value of 0 or more that indicates which curve in the internal clipboard is to be used. The function HaveInternalClipboardData may be used to determine the number of curves available. The maximum acceptable value for clipboard-index is thus one less than the value returned by HaveInternalClipboardData .

/loglog

Only effective when graph sheet is empty. Forces both y and x axes to be logarithmic

/name

If specified, curve will be named curve-name.

/new

/newAxis

If specified, the new curve will be plotted on a new y-axis.

/newGrid

If specified, the new curve will be plotted on a new grid.

/newSheet

/select

If specified, the new curve will be selected.

/title

Does nothing. Included for compatibility with Plot command.

/xauto

Flag. Use automatic limits for x-axis. If this appears after a /xl specification /xauto will override it and vice-versa.

/xdelta

Specify spacing between major grid lines on x-axis. Followed by x-grid-spacing , a real value. For default spacing use 0.

/xl

Use fixed limit for x-axis. Followed by x-low-limit and x-high-limit , which are real valued lower and upper limit of the x-axis.

/xlabel

Specify a label for the x-axis. If the label name argument contains any spaces, the whole string must be enclosed in double quotes.

/xlog

Only effective when graph sheet is empty. Forces logarithmic xaxis.

/xunit

Specify units for the x-axis (Volts, Watts etc.), followed by the unit name as a string. If the string contains spaces, the whole string must be enclosed in quotes (""). You should not include an engineering prefix (m, K etc.).

/yauto

Flag. Use automatic limits for y-axis. If this appears after a /yl specification /yauto will override it and vice-versa.

/ydelta

Specify spacing between major grid lines on y-axis. Followed by y-grid-spacing , a real value. For default spacing use 0.

/yl

Use fixed limit for y-axis. Followed by y-low-limit and y-high-limit , which are real valued lower and upper limit of the y-axis.

/ylabel

Specify a label for the y-axis. If the label name argument contains any spaces, the whole string must be enclosed in double quotes.

/ylog

Only effective when graph sheet is empty. Forces logarithmic yaxis.

/yunit

Specify units for the y-axis (Volts, Watts etc.), followed by the unit name as a string. If the string contains spaces, the whole string must be enclosed in quotes (""). You should not include an engineering prefix (m, K etc.).

y-expression

Text string. Expression describing curve to be added to graph.

x-expression

Text string. Expression describing x values of curve defined by y expression. If omitted, reference of y_expression will be used.
