Dialog Options - Visualization
Function: The dialog is used to configure the visualization editor.
Call: TwinCAT > PLC Environment > Visualization
General tab
These settings are only used for integrated visualization, i.e. not for the TwinCAT PLC HMI (TargetVisu) and TwinCAT PLC HMI Web display variants. |
Presentation options
Fixed | The visualization retains its original size. |
Isotropic | The visualization retains its proportions. |
Anisotropic | The visualization adapts to the size of the window in the development system |
Antialiased Drawing | The visualization is characterized by antialiasing methods, both during editing and as integrated visualization at runtime. Tip: If a horizontal or vertical line is drawn out of focus on a specific visualization platform, this can currently be corrected by a 0.5 px shift in the direction of the line thickness; see item property Absolute motion, option Use REAL values. Requirement: The platform supports the use of REAL coordinates |
Editing options
Linking to shift/key variable | < The placeholder <Shift/Key variable> in the visualization element properties is enabled. If you drag an item with the property Color variables, color change into the visualization editor, this property will be configured with the placeholder <Shift/Key variable>. The following items are affected: button, frame, image, line, circular sector, polygon, rectangle, text field, scrollbar |
Grid tab
Grid
Visible | Grid lines are visible in the visualization editor at distance size |
Active | Grid lines are active in the visualization editor at distance size. The items are aligned with the grid, all position values are on a grid line. An item that is already in a visualization when the grid is enabled is not automatically aligned. To do this, you must first drag it to another position. The grid lines can be active and invisible |
Size | Distance of the grid lines in pixels |
File options tab
Text file for textual "List components". | File name and location of a file of type .csv. It contains a table with texts in the format of a text list. The entries in the file are provided if the List components function is used as input assistant. You create this file as an export file of the global text list using the Command Import/Export Text Lists. |
