DMS 4.1 EN 03/2011 TD29 185
Below the related application a data server has to be configured appropriately to
provide the parameters that are contained in the application to be visualized. These
parameter values may now enter into the visualization that is implemented in the
usual way. Remark that you have to activate the checkbox "Open Target-Visualization"
when configuring the associated visualization manager.
8.18 Visualization elements of type Visual
The category "Visual" of the Visual Editor's toolbox contains the following elements:
Rectangle Rectangle, Rounded Rectangle and Ellipse are of the same
element type. They can be converted to each other just by
changing the "Type of element" property.
Rounded
Rectangle
Ellipse
Line
The declination of a Line element can be switched between
topleft-to-bottomright to bottomleft-to-topright.
Polygon Polygon, Polyline and Curve are of the same element type.
They can be converted to each other just by changing the
"Type of element" property.
An additional point, determining the sections and the shape
of the element, can be inserted by keeping pressed <CTRL>
while clicking on the point. A point can be removed by
keeping pressed <SHIFT>+<CTRL> while clicking on the point.
In the curve element the points next to the line are handles
for forming the bend of the respective curve segment.
Polyline
Curve
Frame
A frame (like frames known from e.g. Internet pages) defines
a partial area of the current visualization which contains
several other visualizations between one can switch in online
mode. Basically can be configured like a rectangle element.
To define which visualizations should be displayed within a
frame, open the 'Frame Configuration' dialog by selecting the
frame and perform command 'Frame Selection'. Here all
available visualizations will be offered and you can select the
desired ones to get them inserted in the frame. It is
recommended however to use only visualization from the
global POUs pool window in order to avoid problems later in
case a device gets renamed. A "filled" frame element then
also in offline mode will show the contained visualization(s).
Concerning the switching between visualizations regard the
possible mouse actions.
