How to modify hyperview visualization

RdelCuvillo

When I open HyperView and plot a contour, the legend is presented by default. It is possible to customize and save the legend. Afterwards, when you open a new file, you can load the previous TCL legend file.

Is it possible to modify the default parameters to always have the same format when you open a file? Specifically, can the TCL legend file be applied automatically without the need to manually load it each time?

You could add a statement like this

*DefaultPostContourLegendFile("<file_path>/custom_legend.tcl")

in <install_directory>\hwdesktop\hw\prefinc\preferences_post.mvw

Dear Varun, 

 

Thank you for the answer. However, I tried what you proposed addapting to my path and file name, but the default legend has not changed. 

Indeed, I found this row and changed the path and file name.     DefaultPostContourLegendFile("c:/tmp/clegend.tcl")

 

Is there any other option? for example, running this command in the start-in directory. If I run it once it has oppened, it works fine. 

hwc result scalar legend import "<file_path>/custom_legend.tcl"

 

Thank you in advance.

The preference statement needs a * in front of it to become active, as shown in my example above. 

*DefaultPostContourLegendFile("<file_path>/custom_legend.tcl")

Could you please make sure you have added it?

Dear Varun, 

You were right, and I was missing the *. This is because the original file does not have it.

It works well. Thank you very much!
