Settings

Check this option if the HMI design area can be zoomed or not. Default is checked.

 

Dimension of the HMI design panel, as visible on the desktop. Read only.

 

If checked, the HMI design work area will display a square grid for visually aligning Sprites.

 

Specify the size of the grid square in pixels.

 

Set here the frequency at which the HMI thread will be called. This frequency will be the refresh rate of the HMI window. The lower the frequency, the jumpier the visual. For some panel that does not request high refresh rate, a low frequency will save CPU for the simulation engine (or the 3D stealth view).

 

Set here the HMI background color applied before drawing any sprite object. Default is white.

 

When checked, the HMI will not generate any code (even if Sprites exists) and it will be like deactivating it without erasing its content.

An empty HMI is like a disabled one.

 

Caption of the HMI panel at runtime (window title).

 

On the HMI panel, a rectangular dashed area represents the runtime (RT) window area. Sprites must be positioned inside to be visible.

If some Sprites are put outside the area, they will exist but not be visible. This can be used to replace some Sprites with some others just by exchanging their coordinates during runtime from the code.

Nevertheless, this area can be modified using the mouse or using the text fields.

To resize it using the mouse, just select the dashed line then drag any of the two magenta corners.

Left is the position of the left side of the RT window on the HMI panel, in pixels.

Bottom is the position of the bottom side of the RT window on the HMI panel, in pixels.

Width and Height express the size in pixels of the RT window.

 

Position of the runtime HMI top left window on the desktop.

 

If checked, the runtime window will automatically adjust its size to gather all defined Sprites. Otherwise, the manually defined runtime (dashed) window will be used.

 

If checked, the runtime window will display no title bar and no border.

This can be useful for incrustation on a part of the desktop or full screen.

 

When checked, the runtime window can be resized using the mouse.

 

When checked, the runtime window will adjust its size to the desktop size.

 

When checked, the runtime window will try to remain always on top of other windows.

This is a Window setup flag.

 

Select this option if you want to use the general built-in contextual menu using the right mouse button.

Unselect it for no binding.
 

 

Use Export button to save the current HMI (including all Panels and Sprites) to a file in /Data/Shared with extension .hmi

Use Import button to load a saved HMI in replacement of the actual one (that will be erased).
