Displacement

Define displacement properties for all
ISaVIEW
objects. Before displacement occurs, the coordinates of the upper left corner of the object define the start position. Use the displacement properties to define the linear movement of the object when in animation mode. Define displacement properties from the
Properties
window. Also, define the
Animation Position
property within the workspace. These properties define the displacement of an object:
Property
Description
Animation Position
Destination coordinates after displacement during animation mode in reference to the top left corner of the object bounding box, in pixels (design mode displays InitialPosition coordinates).
Displacement Variable
Variable that controls the object displacement. Possible variable data types are DINT or STACKINT. Click isv_a1 to select a variable.
Initial Position
(Read only) Coordinates of the object prior to displacement.
Location
Actual coordinates of the object. Equal to
Initial Position
while in design mode.
Maximum Displacement
Maximum amount of displacement during animation mode. The default value is 1000.
Minimum Displacement
Minimum amount of displacement during animation mode. The default value is 0.
In animation mode, the final position of the object is defined as:
Initial Position + (Animation Position - Initial Position) * [(Displacement Variable - Minimum Displacement) / (Maximum Displacement - Minimum Displacement)]
Define displacement properties for an object from the Properties window while in design mode.
To define the displacement properties of an object
  1. Click isv_tdm to set the
    ISaVIEW
    screen to design mode.
  2. Select the required object or group of objects.
  3. In the
    Properties
    window, define the required displacement properties.
