Re: [Gtkwave-users] auto highlight selected signals feature?

[Sophana K <sop...@gm...>]

Hi

Great
It took me some time to find what is the color format in gtkwaverc (I
had to google):
grid_color rrvvbb
Maybe you should add this in the gtkwaverc manpage?

Is it normal that when I disable the grid, the wave highlight disapears?

May I suggest another related feature about the grid? (Actually, I'm
describing the behaviour of a very expensive wave tool we also use
which comes with its simulator)
I find the grid is quite invisible. Using a single line per signal
might be not enough.
Maybe you could stripe the wave background, and every n signal
displayed, the background color would toggle between black and dark
grey (configurable). Both the waves and signal names backgrounds are
striped.
Of course, it would be nice to choose both grid and wave highlight colors.

The wave highlight feature in this commercial tool doesn't change the
backgroung of the highlighted waves as I suggested. But it renders the
highlighted waves with bold (thick) lines. Both are OK for me...

I will also propose another feature in another post, if you don't mind.

Thanks for reading.
