Visualization with Pico GFX-70 5-9
Bit Display
The bit display screen element has an input that can be associated with a
Boolean variable. The signal status of this variable changes the bit display
screen element from a full screen to a frame in the Pico GFX-70 display.
Programming in PicoSoft Pro
1. Hold down the left mouse button and drag the Bit display screen
element onto the screen.
2. Place the mouse over the element, hold down the left mouse button and
position it as required.
The height and width of the element frame is variable and can be adjusted
accordingly by enlarging or reducing the element frame vertically, horizontally
or diagonally. This is done by dragging a selection handle of the element frame
with the left mouse button held down.
Associated variable tab: defines the Boolean variable for activating the bit
display.
Visibility tab: option for making the element invisible by means of an
associated variable.
TIP
The bit display is always output as a solid image. The
invisible function is the only option available. If there is an
overlap of elements, the bit display that was inserted first is
positioned at the back and the last one at the front. This
can be modified for the activated screen element in the
toolbar (Move to foreground/background buttons).
IMPORTANT
Large bit displays require a large amount of processor
capacity and should be avoided in time-critical applications.
