another question, in the xschem viewer is it possible to put a rule to take exact values or zoom?
s
If you save the schematic the zoom level is saved. If you change zoom in a graph force a save by using 'File->Saveas' function. pressing the 'b' key inside a graph brings up the 'b' cursor which annotates values in the schematic at cursor position.
j
What you mention about unset is so that the operating point changes while I move the curve?
with another key can I see the vertical value?
s
The first time you write a raw file appendwrite must not be set otherwise you keep adding data to the same file. For measureents enable Simulation->Live annotate probes with 'b' cursor, then press 'b' insde the graph and see annotated values in the schematic while you move the b cursor. Pressing 'a' in the graph brings up the 'a' cursor. This enable measurements inside the graph. Try it and move the 'a' and 'b' cursors and see what happens.
j
I like how it looks, very cool, but do you know if I can take the data vertically? on the y-axis? I mean the same for x but in y? or that while displaying the x see the value in y?
oh ok, with blue the value appears in y, is it also possible with white or only blue?
s
no only blue, the white cursor sends measurements to schematic annotation.
you can swap cursors with the 's' key
j
when I press 's' it asks me if I want to simulate the circuit
s
press 's' inside the graph
j
no, a, b works but when pressing "s", it says that if I want to simulate
s
The 's' key was added on February , 2023. Did you build a recent xschem?
j
How can I look the version?
s
If you have a recent schem doing xschem -v will return 3.4.0:

oh that's it, I have 3.1, to update it I have to delete it and reinstall it right?
Do you know why only a piece of the curve is selected?
s
yes to update you update the xschem sources, recompile and reinstall. No need to delete, xschem will be updated.

thanks
Hi, @Stefan Schippers, Is there a way that when putting several graphs, the axes do not change when moving one? And that the axis adjusts automatically?
s
If you double click in a graph the dialog box has a 'Unlocked X axis' checkbox. If this is set the graph will not adjust X axis while moving the other graphs. Pressing 'f' while the mouse is inside the graph will do a full zoom of the X axis. Pressing 'f' with the mouse close to the left of the Y axis will do a full Y zoom. https://xschem.sourceforge.io/stefan/xschem_man/video_tutorials/xschem_graphs.mp4
