Tab ‘Visualization’

This tab assigns a visualization type to a visualization.

In addition, it includes settings for window size that are used at runtime.

Use visualization as
Visualization Visualization type for an ordinary or referenced visualization. Preset.
Dialog

Visualization type for a visualization that opens as a dialog box in its own window for an input event. The input action for this is Open dialog. The Close dialog input action closes the window.

Tip: A dialog box usually includes an OK button or Cancel button at the bottom edge for confirming or rejecting user input, and for closing the dialog box. A simple dialog box or a dialog prompt includes only a question or information and buttons for closing the dialog box with either Yes or No. A dialog box is part of a user interface. While a dialog box is open, the rest of the user interface is usually disabled.
Numpad / keypad / dialog for input configuration

Visualization type for a visualization that displays a virtual numeric keypad or a virtual keyboard. It appears when the user is prompted to specify text. The input action for this is Write variable.

Note: The interface of this visualization must also conform with the interfaces for the standard visualizations for the numeric keypad or that keyboard that provides the VisuDialogs library: Numpad, Keypad, NumpadExtended, or TextinputwithLimits.

Tip: The VisuDialogs library contains templates for virtual keyboards or numeric keypads.
Use visualization as
Use automatic detected visualization size 5d160b06d43be863c0a8640e006727f7_1c4140bc6335e686c0a8640e00b47802 : The size is determined so that all visualization elements are enclosed.

5d160b06d43be863c0a8640e006727f7_9a3f06830c0506c5c0a8640e012f0ace : The visualization is internal. It is used exclusively as an internal module of a complete visualization in a library.

When editing as a library project while the project is open in CODESYS, an internal visualization is handled like all visualizations. The internal visualization appears in drop-down lists. Or in the visualization manager (Visualizations tab).

The internal visualizations that include a linked library are not visible to you.
