We seem to have either taken a step backwards with tclspice and magic, or my understanding has taken a step backwards. Heres the current state. I compiled the latest magic-7.2.36 and the latest tclspice-0.2.9. I can invoke 'magic -w invlay' for my test inverter. I can also invoke 'package require spice', 'spice::version' 'spice::source testx_trans.cir' and 'spice::run' all with no problem and the output goes to the tcl window (thank you very much Stefan). I can also go 'spice::show' and see parameters, 'spice::plot_vars 0' and see a 7 returned and 'spice::plot_datapoints 0' and see vcc#branch, vin#branch, gnd, out in vdd and time all from within magic. The problems start when I attempt to plot. The invocation of plot is different in order to avoid namespace collision with magic's plot command. Unfortunately, I dont quite grok the new one. 'spice::plot in out' says "Cant open viewport for graphics", spice_init_gui testx_trans.cir clears the magic window and the layout is gone. Invoking 'spice::spicetoblt in' begets 'Wrong no of args', "spice::spicetoblt in out" says out is a bad blt vector. I can invoke irsim from within magic still, and set in lo and then hi and step it while tclspice is running, and that is very good, by going: irsim graphnode in graphnode out 1 (sets out below in) l in s h in s And voila, irsim shows the inverter actually working. So the question is: what is the proper invocation now with tclspice-0.2.9 from within magic-7.2.36 to plot and how do we bridge the tclspice to magic gap so it is easier for a more casual user to actually, well, use. And again, thank you Stefan & Tim for all your hard work. Charles
