Use graphic libraries

There are two graphic libraries that are available, Symbol Factory and Graphics Library

FactoryTalk View Studio Graphics Library comes with a set of libraries, contained in the
Libraries folder. As with a public library, the graphics libraries can provide you with
source materials and reference information.

Each graphic library consists of a graphic display, with the file extension .gfx. The library
displays contain graphic objects that you might find useful in your own application. Many
of the objects are preconfigured with animation. For example, see the Conveyor parts
library.

You can:

Look at the objects and displays to get ideas for your own application.

Drag and drop (or copy and paste) objects from the libraries into your own displays.

for information about copying objects from a library into your graphic display, see
page 20-43.

Use the objects as they are or change them to suit your needs.

Create your own libraries of objects.

Create libraries of displays that are translated into multiple languages.

Use libraries as displays in your application.
