Drawings
This chapter tells you how to use the PanelBuilder drawing objects
to illustrate your application.
Tip: To simplify screen editing and maximize runtime performance,
convert all text and drawing objects into wallpaper. See Chapter 9,
Creating Objects, in the PanelBuilder 1400e Configuration Software
for Windows User Manual, for detailed information.
Use the following drawing objects to illustrate your application
screens:
•
arcs
•
ellipses
•
lines
•
panels
•
rectangles
•
wedges
Note: For information about Scales, see the Scales chapter, later in
this manual.
You can draw arcs from one to four quadrants. You can size the arc,
configure it to appear hollow or solid, and change the line style or
width.
When you first draw an arc, it appears as an ellipse. Select one of the
handles and drag the pointer around the circumference of the ellipse
to reduce the curve to three, two, or one quadrant of the ellipse.
Tip: To draw quadrants of a perfect circle, hold the Shift key as you
first draw the arc.
For more details on drawing and configuring arcs, see Chapter 9,
Creating Objects, in the
PanelBuilder 1400e Configuration Software
for Windows User Manual.
