8.3 Options
In the Options dialog in category "Visualization" among others you can define defaults
for the project settings, e.g. for the visualization text and image file directories to be
used when configuring a visualization.
For a detailed description see Project Options, category Visualization.
8.4 Creating a visualization object
To create a visualization object use command Add Object. A visualization can be added
in the POUs window (global object pool) or application-assigned in the Devices
window depending on whether it is intended for general use within the project or for
special use on a certain application.
When the first visualization object is added in the project, the respective libraries will
be added automatically in the Library Manager according to the currently active
visualization profile.
When the first visualization is inserted below an application, automatically the
Visualization Manager object will be added too.
The new visualization object will be immediately opened in the visualization editor.
8.5 Editing a visualization
A visualization is edited in the Visualization Editor window. The Visualization Editor
works in combination with the visualization Toolbox (providing visualization elements
basing on the included element libraries) and the visualization element Properties
editor (configuration of the visualization elements) which per default both can be
accessed via the 'View' menu.
To open a visualization object, perform a double-click on the object entry in the POUs
or Devices view resp. use command Edit Object.
For detailed descriptions on how to use see:
• Visualization Editor
• Visualization ToolBox (available visualization elements)
• Visualization Element Properties (configuration of elements)
8.6 Visualization Manager
If a visualization is inserted in the devices tree, i.e. below an application, automatically
a Visualization Manager object will be added.
The Visualization Manager handles some common settings for all visualizations
assigned to the current application, for example the display size, start visualization,
settings for Web- and Target-Visualization).
For details on the particular dialogs please see: Visualization Manager.
