NGspice

class decida.NGspice.NGspice(parent=None, **kwargs)

Bases: decida.ItclObjectx.ItclObjectx, Tkinter.Frame

synopsis:

Simulate using NGspice and plot results.

NGspice is a graphical user-interface to run NGspice. There is a netlist pane to directly enter a netlist and a plotting pane for displaying results. The plotting pane is a full DataViewx window, which has all of the features of that class.

The DeCiDa application ngsp simply instantiates one NGspice object.

configuration options:

verbose (bool, default=False)

enable/disable verbose mode

plot_height (str, default=”10i” for MacOS, else “6i”)

Height of plot window (Tk inch or pixelspecification)

plot_width (str, default=”10i” for MacOS, else “6i”)

Width of plot window (Tk inch or pixel specification)

xcol (str, default=”time”)

X-column of plot to generate after simulation.

ycol (str, default=”v(1)”)

Y-columns of plot to generate after simulation.

NGspice(cktfile="hartley.ckt", xcol="time", ycols="v(c)")
