WaveArtist

WaveArtists is a simple waveform editing program used for drawing timing diagrams for inclusion in documentation

Back in my PhD university days I used to use a program that I had written in Turbo Pascal for DOS. The whole widget set was coded from scratch but then Windows took off and I never ported it. I toyed with doing it in Java but then... thanks to the wonderful Python and the excellent wxPython set the time has come to resurrect it.

It is intended to make the process of documenting and thinking about waveforms quick and simple and it therefore "Cell" based. The user can add as many "Signal" waveforms or "Bus" waveforms as required. This new version now allows some basic annotation too.

Once a waveform is drawn it can be copied to the windows clipboard or output as a "windows meta file (wmf)". Thus it can then be pasted into a OpenOffice or MS-Word document as required. Obviously this is not the best option for none MS-Windows platforms and other options will follow. For now you will have to export as wmf and convert that somehow.

For more on using WaveArtist see the "Support" pages.

WaveAtrist is written in Python and uses the WxPython widget set. It is my first real python program so please be gentle!

Have Fun :-)
