Graphics/display images and Help displays can have the following format:
• Bitmap (BMP)
• Metafile (WMF) or
• Icon (ICO)
Graphic programs can be freely selected provided that they are capable of
generating the prescribed formats.
Displays must be saved in one of the following directories:
\DH\CUS.DIR\HLP.DIR (User cycles directory)
\DH\COM.DIR\HLP.DIR (Comments directory)
\DH\CST.DIR\HLP.DIR (Standard cycles directory)
\DH\CMA.DIR\HLP.DIR (Manufacturer directory)

Display within a display

You can insert further displays in the background (Help display). Even as a function
of the values of the variables.
Like for softkeys you can assign a graphics file to a display field. The height of the
displayed graphic (of the I/O field) is specified as the fourth parameter of the
positions.
You can define bitmaps in fields (short text, I/O field).
The definition is made with the notation used in "Defining variables" (see
Subsection 3.3.3 "Screen form elements").
Example:
Short text field is overlaid with graphics
DEF VAR1=(S///,"\\image1.bmp" ////160,40,50,50) ; Type S irrelevant
Toggle field overlaid with graphics, the graphic being selected with a PLC flag byte.
DEF VAR1=(IDB/*1="\\image1.bmp",
"MB[0]"//160,40,50,50)
