CHAPTER 1
Graphics Editor
This chapter describes the Graphics Editor and the various tools and controls available. It also
provides instructions for using these tools and controls and is supported with suitable screen displays.
About the Graphics Editor
The Graphics Editor enables a variety of objects to be created on a page. Supported objects are:
♦
Graphical objects.
♦
Control objects.
♦
ActiveX objects.
Graphical objects are geometric shapes, for example ellipses and polygons, but also include Text
objects. Control objects allow information to be displayed and entered in clear way through the use
of Wizards. Examples of control objects include Pushbuttons and Trend Graphs. ActiveX objects or
controls are from sources external to CX-Supervisor.
Refer to chapter 4, Objects for further information regarding control objects and bitmap objects.
Refer to chapter 5 for further information on ActiveX Objects.
The tools are contained on a Control Bar, and within palettes. The palettes allow all similar types of
tool to be kept together, and are contained within a free floating window. The various tools and
palettes are discussed in the following chapters. Status and help information is presented in a Status
Bar located at the bottom of the main CX-Supervisor window.
Palette
The Palette is always displayed on top of any pages created within CX-Supervisor. If no pages are
open, the Palette is not displayed, and if there are no currently active pages, the Palette is rendered
inactive. An example of the Palette illustrating the position of various palettes and controls is shown
below:
