16–2 Adding Graphics
Publication 2711-6.0
PanelBuilder provides tools for drawing a variety of shapes: lines,
ellipses, circles, rectangles, squares, polygons (connected lines) and
freeform drawings.
Line Polygon Rectangle
Circle Ellipse Freeform
In addition, you can import bitmap graphics created with other
programs, use standard ISA symbols, and add text to screens.
The text tool lets you add text to a screen that’s not linked to an
object.
Graphics are created similar to control and display objects. Unlike
control and display objects, however, graphics can overlap.
Inside the display area of the screen, the pointer appears as a + to
indicate where a line or shape appears when you start drawing.
Graphics are created by selecting commands from the Objects
" Graphics submenu or by selecting a tool from the toolbox.
