use objects from the Graphic Library editor
About graphic displays and graphic objects
A graphic display represents the operator’s view of plant activity. The
display can show system or process data and provide operators with a
way to write values to an external device such as a programmable
controller. Operators can also print the display at runtime to create a
visual record of tag values.
The components that make up a graphic display are called graphic
objects. Objects can be:
created in the Graphic Display editor
dragged and dropped from a graphic library
copied and pasted from another Windows ® application
created by another Windows application and inserted in the
graphic display using OLE (Object Linking and Embedding)
ActiveX ® objects embedded in the graphic display
