Function
The graphics window displays the progress of the contour chain as
you are parameterizing the contour elements.
The element you have selected is displayed in red in the graphics
window.
Navigation within the contour is described in "Contour programming".
The created contour element can be displayed in various line types
and colors depending on its status:
Color/line
Black
Red
Green
Black solid line
Light blue line
Dashed green line
The current status of the contour is displayed insofar as it can be
interpreted by the control on the basis of parameter inputs. If the
contour is still not displayed in the programming graphic, further
values still need to be entered. Check the contour elements you have
already programmed. You may have forgotten to enter all the data
you know.
