20.3.7 'Insert' 'Pie'
Symbol:
Use this command to insert a Pie Segment as an element into your current
visualization.
While pressing the left mouse button, bring up an area in the desired size. An oval
element including a line marking the radius at the 0° position will be displayed. As
long as keeping the mouse button pressed you can immediately change size and
position of the element by moving the mouse. A little black square is attended to the
the element, indicating the corner of a virtual rectangle surronding the element.
In order to define the start and end angles of a Pie, select the end point of the radius
line on the circular arc by a mouse-click. As soon as you, keeping the mouse button
pressed, move the cursor, two small rectangles will be displayed, indicating the two
angle positions. As from now those can be selected and moved seperately. If you want
the angle values get defined dynamically by variables, open the configuration dialog
category 'Angle' and enter the desired variable names.
You can resize or reshape the element later by either clicking on the centre point, the
cursor getting displayed as diagonally crossed arrows, and moving the mouse while
keeping the mouse button pressed (or using the arrow keys). Alternatively you can
select and move the corner indicating little square outside of the element. In order to
move the element to another position, click inside the element to get the cursor
beeing displayed as vertically crossed arrows and then move the cursor.
20.3.8 'Insert' 'Bitmap'
Symbol:
With the command you can insert a bitmap as an element in your present
visualization. (Use, see Visualization Elements, Insert).
While pressing the left mouse button, bring up an area in the desired size. The
standard dialog box for browsing for a file will be opened. You can use this dialog to
select and enter a bitmap file from the local file system. In the configuration dialog of
the inserted bitmap you then can define, whether a link to the bitmap file should be
stored or the bitmap should be inserted as an element.
Alternatively you can specify a project variable to define which bitmap should be
used. This allows a dynamic change of bitmaps in online mode. The variable must be
entered in the configuration dialog of an already inserted bitmap element and it must
contain the name of a bitmap file managed in the project-global bitmaplist.
