Bitmap
This displays a Windows bitmap file, for example your
company logo, a map; background scene, or some
indicator diagram as described in Multi-State below.
A Browse option enables selection of the
bitmap.
If the display item is not the same size as the
bitmap, then the bitmap can be stretched or squashed
to fit.
Multi-State
This displays part of a bitmap, where the part is
selected by the value of a specified data channel.
The bitmap may have a series of windsocks
in different colours where a wind speed channel is used
to select one of them for display to indicate a current
wind speed range. As an example, if the bitmap has
four images aid the switching points are 1, 2, 3.
Image 1 is shown when the data level is less than 1,
Image 2 is shown when the data level is between 1 and 2,
Image 3 is shown when the data level is between 2 and 3,
Image 4 is shown when the data level is greater than 3.
Overlay
This type of item displays a bitmap image overlaid with a windrose (wind
direction pointer).
