Object ‘TargetVisu’

Symbol: ae265f5dbf6cccbdc0a8640e00badf8c_de12b6384d1e968bc0a8640e005d2f19

Function: The object is used for configuring CODESYS TargetVisu in order to display the visualization directly on the controller of an integrated or connected panel.

Requirement: The CODESYS control runtime environment is equipped with the CODESYS TargetVisu component. The object itself is inserted below the visualization manager.

CODESYS TargetVisu can be executed on different platforms, from embedded controllers to powerful PC-based systems on different operating systems. Therefore, it can be run on Windows, Windows Embedded CE, Linux, QNX, or VxWorks. A ready-made adaptation to the graphics interface of the systems is available on these operating systems. An adaptation is required for embedded controllers or other operating systems. In addition, there are device manufacturers that integrate visualizations into external applications by means of ActiveX controls.

Scaling options
Fixed ae265f5dbf6cccbdc0a8640e00badf8c_331ba40060e030ffc0a8640e014c3b3b : Fixed size of the visualization (original size).
Isotropic: ae265f5dbf6cccbdc0a8640e00badf8c_331ba40060e030ffc0a8640e014c3b3b : The size of the visualization is adapted to the dimensions of the display device, retaining the proportions of the visualization.
Anisotropic: ae265f5dbf6cccbdc0a8640e00badf8c_331ba40060e030ffc0a8640e014c3b3b : The size of the visualization is adjusted to the size of the display device, for example a screen.
Use scaling options for dialogs ae265f5dbf6cccbdc0a8640e00badf8c_9a3f06830c0506c5c0a8640e012f0ace The dialogs, also for keypad and numpad, are scaled like the visualization (drawn with the same scaling factor). This is an advantage when a dialog was created to match the visualization because then they are scaled together.
Use automatically detected client size ae265f5dbf6cccbdc0a8640e00badf8c_9a3f06830c0506c5c0a8640e012f0ace : The visualization fills the screen of the display device completely.
Use specified visualization size ae265f5dbf6cccbdc0a8640e00badf8c_9a3f06830c0506c5c0a8640e012f0ace : The values in Client height and Client width are used for the size of the visualization. The visualization fills this screen area only.
Client height Height of the visualization (in pixels).
Client width Width of the visualization (in pixels).

Antialiased drawing

ae265f5dbf6cccbdc0a8640e00badf8c_9a3f06830c0506c5c0a8640e012f0ace : Antialiasing is used in the visualization editor for drawing a visualization as a TargetVisu and a TargetVisu variant.

Tip: If a horizontal or vertical line is drawn blurry on a specific visualization platform, then this can be corrected by an offset of 0.5px in the direction of the line thickness (see element property Absolute movement, option Use REAL values). Requirement: The platform in use supports using REAL coordinates.
Default text input
Input with  
Touchscreen Text input on the display variant with touchscreen
Keyboard Text input on the display variant with keyboard

Effect:

If you configure a user input for default text input, select an input configuration for input action Write variable, and configure the Input type as Default, then the settings are used here.
