Here are additional considerations when selecting and positioning viewports:
Position Limitation: The bottom portion of the screen (about 15% or so) is
reserved for the runtime menus, and you will not be able to drag a
Text or
Graph viewport border into this region. However, Tool viewports
encompass the entire screen, and Tool viewport strings can be placed
anywhere on the screen, including the runtime menu area.
Multiple Viewports Displayed on the Same Screen: You can display more
than one viewport on the same runtime display page (see “Selecting Display
Pages and Page Numbers” in this chapter). In doing so, you would need to
strategically select the viewport number of each (see below), as well as set
the size and position of each viewport according to display requirements.
Viewport Numbering and Layering: Viewports are displayed in numerical
order. Thus, if one viewport is placed partially or completely within another,
the viewport with the higher number will be displayed on “top.”
Selecting Border and Background Colors
You further define appearance of the viewport (for either a Graph or Text
type) by selecting the border color, and the background color. You do this
using the
Border and Backg. menu items, respectively.
Note: The Border and Backg. items are disabled for Tool viewports.
