About graphic displays
FactoryTalk View Studio
includes the following types of graphic displays:- Standard displays
- Global object displays
- Library displays
- Symbol Factory ™
The elements that make up a graphic display are called graphic objects. The
Objects
menu in the Graphics editor provides simple drawing elements such as line, rectangle, and ellipse, as well as objects such as push buttons, input and display fields, and alarm summaries. Use these elements to create visual representations of processes and activities, and then animate the display by linking objects to tags so that the appearance of the objects will change as the values of the tags do.Graphic objects can be:
- created on a display using the Graphics editor
- copied and pasted from a standard graphic display, global object display, library, Symbol Factory, or another Windows application
- dragged and dropped from a standard graphic display, global object display, library, or another Windows application
- copied to the clipboard from another Windows application, then pasted into the graphic display
- created by another Windows application and inserted into the graphic display using object linking and embedding
