Viewing Analysis Results
Result and Graph Dialogs
After running an analysis a floating, draggable dialog opens with the results. There are two dialog types:
| Dialog type | Used for | Content |
|---|---|---|
| Result dialog | OP, AC, TF, Tran (result analyses) | Accordion table of computed values |
| Graph dialog | DC, AC/TF, Tran, PZ, FFT, Fourier (graph analyses) | Interactive chart |
Both dialogs can be:
- Dragged by their title bar to reposition on screen
- Resized by dragging the dialog edge
- Closed with the
xbutton; re-opened from the Analyses tab in the right panel
Result Dialog Sections
A result dialog groups output into collapsible accordion sections:
| Section | Description |
|---|---|
| Results | Primary simulator output - node voltages, currents, transfer functions, etc. |
| Substitutions | Manual algebraic substitutions applied on top of the result. |
| User results | Custom expressions computed from the raw results. |
Edit Mode - (enabled by default)
Enable Edit Mode from the Results menu in the dialog menu bar. With Edit Mode on, each row in the result table gains action buttons:
- Star - pin this single result to the Favorites panel in the right menu for quick access
- Edit - re-open the calculator pre-filled with this result's expression
- Delete - remove a user result or substitution
Interacting with Graphs
Basic Interactions
| Action | Behaviour |
|---|---|
| Pan | Click and drag inside the chart area |
| Zoom | Scroll wheel inside the chart area |
| Hover | Tooltip shows exact value at the cursor position |
Graph Dialog Menu
Each graph dialog has a menu bar (top of the dialog) with four menus:
File menu
| Item | Action |
|---|---|
| Set Name | Rename the graph / analysis |
| Save to Favorites | Pin the graph thumbnail to the Favorites panel |
| Export PNG | Download the chart as a PNG image |
| Export SVG | Download the chart as a scalable SVG image |
| CSV | Open a dialog showing the raw data (semicolon-delimited); copy or download |
Analysis menu
| Item | Action |
|---|---|
| Run (F9) | Re-run this analysis |
| Settings | Simulator settings (setting per analysis) |
Results menu
| Item | Action |
|---|---|
| Graph settings | Open the graph appearance editor |
| View type | For AC analyses: switch between Magnitude+Phase, Real-Imaginary, Magnitude only, Phase only, etc. |
Help menu
| Item | Action |
|---|---|
| Log | Show the raw simulator output log |
| Script | Show the generated simulation script |
| Crash dump | Download a crash dump for bug reporting |
Right Panel
The right panel has three tabs for circuit projects:
Favorites tab
Shows pinned results and graphs. Use the toolbar buttons to:
- Run all (F9) - re-run all analyses that have items in Favorites
- Add section - organise Favorites into named sections
- Edit - enter edit mode to rename, reorder, or delete Favorites entries
- Delete all - clear the entire Favorites list
To add items to Favorites:
- Graph ? graph's File menu ? Save to Favorites
- Single result value ? enable Edit Mode in the result dialog ? click the ? star icon on a row
Analyses tab
Alphabetical list of all analyses in the project. Click an entry to show or hide its dialog. A trash icon removes the analysis permanently. When an analysis is opened for the first time it runs automatically if no results exist yet.
Layers tab
Flat list of every item on the canvas (components, wires, text, arrows). Click an item to select it on the canvas; the trash icon removes it.
Export Formats
Circuit Diagram Exports
Raster images (PNG, JPEG, WebP)
Go to Export tab ? Raster image section:
| Format | Transparency | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| WEBP | Yes | Web use - smallest file size |
| PNG | Yes | Screen display, email, web |
| JPEG | No | Situations where smaller files are needed |
Clicking a button generates the file immediately and downloads it with the project name.
Tips
PNG is transparent (canvas background not included). For a white background use JPEG, or open the PNG in any image editor and add a white background.
Export tab / Vector image / PDF
- Scalable vector format - never pixelates when printed or scaled
- Best choice for professional reports and publications
- Downloaded automatically with the project name
LaTeX
Export tab / Vector image / LaTeX
Opens a dialog explaining the workflow and providing download buttons:
- Download the PDF (circuit diagram as a PDF file)
- Download the TeX source file (
.texand\putcommands using thegfigpackage) - Download
gfig.styfrom the link in the dialog and place it in the root of your LaTeX project
Include the circuit in your document with the \gfig command:
\usepackage{gfig}
...
\gfig{circuits/my_circuit}
Optional \gfig parameters:
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
width | Required image width |
scale | Scale factor (when width not set) |
textsize | LaTeX font size command, e.g. \small |
addtowidth | Extra horizontal padding |
addtoheight | Extra vertical padding |
hshift | Horizontal shift |
vshift | Vertical shift |
Example:
\gfig[scale=1.1, addtowidth=1mm, textsize=\small]{circuits/my_circuit}
Place the downloaded .pdf and .tex files inside a circuits/ subfolder next to gfig.sty.
Tips
SVG export is available for graphs only (graph dialog / File / Export SVG), not for circuit diagrams. Use PDF for a vector-quality circuit diagram.
Netlist Export
Export tab ? NetList section:
| Button | Format | Use |
|---|---|---|
| Spice | SPICE netlist | Paste into NGSpice, LTspice, or any other SPICE simulator |
| Symbolic | Symbolic netlist | Input for the SymCirc backends |
Clicking a button opens a dialog showing the generated text with a Copy to clipboard button.
Graph Data Export (CSV)
Inside any graph dialog: File / CSV
A dialog shows the raw data with a copy button. The data is semicolon-delimited:
Frequency, abs(v(out)), ph(v(out))
1.0, -80.0, -179.5
1.26, -79.8, -179.4
...
Graph Image Export
Inside any graph dialog: File / Export PNG or Export SVG
- PNG - raster image, good for documents and presentations
- SVG - scalable vector, retains quality at any size
Next: Go to Project Management to save and organise your work.
