20.7.6 Master layout
The usage of a "Master layout" in visualizations for example could be used to provide
a dialog in various visualizations without the need to explicitly insert it in each of
them. Whether and when the dialog will be displayed in online mode could be
controlled via a variable which is defined in the Master layout configuration for the
visibility of the dialog elements .
Use as master layout
If a visualization is defined as "Master layout", it will be inserted automatically in all
other visualizations (if those are not explicitly excluded, see below) and will be
available there with all its functions during online mode. It always will be inserted on
the front level, if you however it always want to get it in the background, then
activate option ‘in background’ in the properties dialog of the visualization element
(see below). A master layout cannot be edited any longer in the visualization where it
has been inserted. Modifications of the configuration only can be done in the master
layout visualization itself.
Appointing a visualization to be the master layout is done in the Properties dialog,
which can be opened for an object currently selected in the Object Organizer via
command 'Project' 'Object' 'Properties' (see CoDeSys User Manual, Chapter 4.3).
Option Master layout must be activated for this purpose. If prior to this another
visualization has been defined to be a master layout, that one will automatically be
re-defined to be a "normal" visualization (option Visualization in the Properties dialog.
Visualization without master layout
Also in the Properties dialog of a visualization object you can define that it should be
used as a Visualization without master layout.
20.7.7 Use as Web- or Target-Visualization
If a project is created for a Web- or Target-Visualization, for each visualization object
you can define whether it should be used for this purpose or not.
Thereto select the visualization object in the Object Organizer and open the Properties
dialog ('Project' Object' 'Properties'). If in the Target Settings the options Web- resp.
Target-Visualization are activated, in the Properties dialog the corresponding options
Use as Web-Visualization resp. as Target-Visualization automatically also will be
activated. In order to explicitly exclude the object from the use in a Web- or Target-
Visualization deactivate the appropriate option.
