[sdiy] Love for LTSpice

[Mattias Rickardsson]

Aha! Nifty. I do that manually all the time in LTspice.
Haven't even wondered why it's not possible to do quicker with clever
help from the program, as there's so many other behaviours in the
LTspice graphs that are pure annoyances. For instance, why the hell
would anyone at any time in the history of the universe want an axis
that goes from, say, -10.5 dB to +1.2 dB with 1.3 dB divisions?
Instead of choosing divisions (grid line positions) that make sense
and choosing limits that suits the plot or the user, it seems like the
program(mer) is obsessed with always having 9 or 10 or 11 ticks on
both axes regardless of where the grid lines end up (and regardless of
the fact that both axes are almost always very different in length on
the screen). Dealing with stupid things like this takes much more time
and frustration than positioning the marker by hand when measuring
-3dB points etcetera. :-)
