WzPlot Procedure
Starts a VDA Tool used for 2D plotting.
Usage
WzPlot, var1[, var2, ..., varn]
Input Parameters
vari — The name of the 2D variable to plot or an equivalent expression.
Keywords
Independent — Specifies the name of the variable to be taken as the independent variable.
NoBlock — If specified, the event loop (WwLoop) that is started by the VDA Tool will use the given value. By default a value of 1 (non-blocking loop) will be used. However, it may be necessary in certain circumstances to force a non-blocking loop by specifying NoBlock = 2. (See WwLoop in the PV‑WAVE Application Developer’s Guide for more information.)
Parent — The widget ID of the parent widget.
Position — Specifies, in pixels, the x and y coordinates for the starting location of the upper-left corner of the VDA Tool window.
Restore — A data structure previously saved in the Tools Manager with the TmSaveTools function. This keyword is reserved for internal use; it is not to be used at the command line (see Discussion).
Template — A string containing the name of a VDA Tool template file.
XSize — Specifies, in pixels, the width of the drawing area.
YSize — Specifies, in pixels, the height of the drawing area.
Discussion
The maximum number of variables you can plot simultaneously in a WzPlot tool is 10.
The Parent keyword is used to connect WzPlot to another application, such as the Navigator.
The Restore keyword is used specifically by the TM_RESTORE method. For information on the TM_RESTORE method, refer to the source code for WzPlot in:
<wavedir>/lib/vdatools/wzplot.pro
<wavedir>\lib\vdatools\wzplot.pro
Where <wavedir> is the main PV‑WAVE directory.
A template is a VDA Tool without any data associated with it. The template contains all of the modifications to the VDA Tool — colors, axes, graphical elements — that were set when the template file was saved. Template files are saved with the Save Template As command from the File menu on the VDA Tool.
