Default Simvision waveform window, how do I get white background?

I need to capture some waveforms and for documentation, but the background
is black when I capture them in SnagIt. What can I do now?

Thanks in advance.

Use the print function, but don't print to a printer. Instead, print to
a postscript file. You can then use your favorite postscript viewer
(ghostscript, etc) to view the output. Alternatively, you can print to
PDF in windows with Adobe PDF printer or in *nix with CUPS PDF printer.

cheers,

Thank you Jason.

I was aware of that trick while I was using Signalscan. Now after simvision,
printing
was executed, but in Postscript, there was no waves, only the left column
containing
the signal names.

Does Simvision support changing background color in either .sv or .simvision
or
anywhere else?

Strange, because it didn't happen to me. Try a different ps viewer.
Since I don't have a postscript viewer installed, what I did first was
to convert the ps file to pdf first (using ps2pdf), and then opened the
file under xpdf or acroread.

Not that I know of, but in the print view, you can choose from black on
white, white on black, or color on white.

Thank you. It seems that I have done what could be done, only that my
computers
don't work. I will look into my computers and see how.
