True Type Font Support; Webupdate; G4 Panelbuilder - AMX TPDESIGN4 V2.5 Instruction Manual

TPDesign4 Program Overview

True Type Font Support

Since G4 panels have the ability to decode and display Windows True Type Font files (TTF),
TPDesign4 directly utilizes TTF files. Fonts are presented in the Properties Control window (States
tab), as well as the Button Selection/Draw toolbar and the Add Page and Add Popup Page dialogs.
The TTF files listed represent those TTF files installed in Windows with their available point sizes.

WebUpdate

The AMX WebUpdate program is a stand-alone application that communicates with the AMX
website, allows a user to select from a list of available AMX Software programs to choose for
updating, determines the latest version of the selected applications, returns a listing of available
updates, allows a user to download the selected installation files, and upon request, launches the
installation of those downloads.
The WebUpdate application is not installed by TPDesign4, and must be installed
separately. If not found, TPDesign4 will prompt you to download the application from
www.amx.com.

G4 PanelBuilder

G4 PanelBuilder is a stand-alone application (installed separately) from AMX that allows you to
quickly create TPDesign4 projects for G4 touchpanels, using either pre-fabricated templates from
AMX, or user-designed templates.
The G4 PanelBuilder application is designed to do the bulk of the basic layout and navigational
design of a touch panel design. TPD4 is required to complete the project by specifying channel
mapping information, and to generally fine-tune the project as needed.
The G4 PanelBuilder setup application is available for download from www.amx.com (Dealers >
Tech Center > Downloadable Files).
Although G4 PanelBuilder is installed separately, it is fully integrated with TPDesign4. For
example, the File > New From G4 PanelBuilder option launches the G4 PanelBuilder application
to allow you to create a new TP4 project.
Use the set of options in the File menu to access the key functions of the G4 PanelBuilder
application:
