Options of Fill Style

FactoryTalk View supports the following fill styles for the color animation.
Option
Description
Solid
Allows you to change the colors, and they will have a solid look to them.
Gradient
Allows you to change the colors, and they will have a gradient look to them. If you select Gradient as the Fill Style, the Fill color box changes to gradient. Click it to bring up the gradient fill dialog box to configure the gradient fill.
Original
Retains the colors and the shading of the object to what was originally imported. Both the line and fill color can be altered from the original using Blink.
Shaded
Uses a tight dot pattern to soften or give a shaded appearance. This fill style takes effect only on a group object that is composed of individual objects with dark to light colors, such as Symbol Factory objects.
When using the Fill Style:
  • Using the
    Shaded Fill Style
     along with the
    Blink
    option allows control of the shading aspect of a display object by changing combinations of
    Line
    and
    Fill
    and different colors.
  • Using the
    Original Fill Style
     allows for more variations on animating an object. Instead of a specific color for the object’s non-blink state, the object’s original color can be used. If
    Original
    is used as a
    Fill Style
     on any state, the color palette boxes will not allow a color change. By selecting the
    Blink
    option, a different color can be used for both the
    Line
    and the
    Fill
    color or individually.
The following example shows the effects of Shaded and Gradient fill styles.
