Bitmap images that come with FactoryTalk View Studio
FactoryTalk View Studio comes with sets of bitmaps that are useful for illustrating
graphic objects and displays:
 Arrows
 DIN symbols
 ISA symbols
 Keyboard button symbols such as Enter and Page Up
 Parts such as buttons, conveyors, pipes, tanks, and valves
The symbols and most of the arrows are monochrome (that is, use only two colors, one for
the line and one for the fill).
You can set up the line and fill colors for the monochrome images that you use for your
objects.
For color images, including JPEG images, you can specify whether to use a gradient,
transparent, or solid background fill. If you select the transparent background fill style, the
black portions of the image become transparent.
For detailed information about setting up objects, see Help.
