Add 'Invert Wave' to graph contextual menu
Posted September 14th, 2007 by aclight
I wanted to be able to right click on a trace on a graph and have the wave from which the trace was created inverted (ie. multiplied by -1). Here's some code I used to do this:
Menu "TracePopup" "-" // separator divides this from built-in menu items "Invert wave", /Q, InvertWave() End //** // Invert the wave that the user selected. Note that this inverts the wave itself // and not just the trace. //* Function InvertWave() GetLastUserMenuInfo // determine the wave name based on the trace name and window name WAVE targetWave = TraceNameToWaveRef(S_graphName, S_traceName) targetWave *= -1 End
You can just copy and paste this code into a procedure file and compile. If you want this behavior to occur from any experiment whenever you start Igor Pro, you'll need to create a stand alone procedure file containing this code and put a shortcut/alias to that procedure file in your Igor Procedures directory.
