Plots are diagrams in Waveform Viewer that display traces. You can add, remove, and rearrange them. You can also zoom in and out in various ways
Plots are used to evaluate a simulation.
Selecting plots
Some operations with plots require you to select a plot first. To select a plot, simply click it. The currently selected plot is indicated by the text mark SEL>> on the left-hand side.
The first plot is selected, the second one is not:
Adding and removing plots
To add another plot in the Waveform Viewer window,
choose or click
in the toolbar. In both cases, a new empty
plot is added at the top of the window. See Working with traces for
information on adding traces to the new plot.
To remove an
existing plot, select it and choose or click
in the toolbar. A plot is also removed
automatically when you remove the last trace from it.
To
remove all plots except one while keeping the displayed traces, choose or click 
in the toolbar. All traces are collected in
a single plot, and the other plots are removed.
Rearranging and resizing plots
Multiple plots displayed in Waveform Viewer are
arranged vertically. To move a plot higher, select it and then choose or click 
in the toolbar. To move a selected plot
lower, choose or click 
.
You can also modify
the height of a plot. To do so, choose or click 
to select the resizing tool. Then click the
upper or lower border of the plot and drag it up or down. Adjacent plots are resized
automatically to fill the available space. If only a single plot is shown in the
Waveform Viewer window, it is not possible to resize that plot. (However, you can
resize the window, which resizes the plot accordingly.)
To return all plots to their natural sizes, choose .
Zooming
-
To make the plot content larger, select the desired plot and choose or click
in the toolbar. You can also make sure that no tool is selected (the standard arrow mouse pointer is displayed) and drag a rectangle around a section of a plot. The plot is zoom in on that area.
-
To make the plot content smaller, select the desired plot and choose or click
in the toolbar. -
To see the entire content of a plot, select it and choose or click
in the
toolbar. To see the entire width while leaving the height zoom
unchanged, click 
. To see the entire height without changing
the width zoom, click 
. -
When you have changed the zoom level in any way, you can return to the previous zoom level by selecting the plot and choosing or clicking
in the
toolbar. If you have gone back in this manner, you can go forward in the
history of zoom levels again by choosing or clicking 
.
By default, all plots have synchronized x-axes so that
they all show the same time period from the simulation, and zooming one plot changes
the x-axes of the other plots accordingly. If that is not desired, you can choose
or click 
in the toolbar.
