Display images

There are two display categories:
• Display images/graphics in the graphic area in accordance with the display in
Subsection 3.3.1 "Defining a screen form"
• Help displays illustrating, for example, individual variables, which are
superimposed in the graphic area.
• More Help displays can be configured instead of blocks of text or input/output
fields, which you position where you like.
Display images
Maximum size:
Display building, HMI Embedded/HT6
To configure displays, please proceed as follows:
• Create the display images using, for example, the Windows 95 Paint application.
• Convert the display images into PCX format with 16 colors (e.g., with
PaintShopPro).
• Convert the PCX file where the supplied program pcxconv.exe is executed.
The program has the following parameters:
PCXCONV Xpos Ypos Width Height PCXfile attrib colTab
Explanation of parameters:
The parameters Xpos, Ypos, Width, Height define the display section to be
converted from the generated display.
I.a. Start with 0 0, that is, in the upper left corner.
Xpos
Ypos
Width
Height
PCXfile
attrib
colTab
Example: PCXCONV 0 0 80 36 help 2 standard
We recommend generating a batch file that calls PCXCONV in order to
convert all of the PCX files into the requested size.
Use the BMP2BIN conversion program (application disk). It supports 256 colors
and faster display building.
