Display Properties for Recipes

Attributes >>>

Static

Visible

Non-touch units* - all objects are always visible, so as a result both the static and dynamic override fields will be grayed out.
Touch units** - the visibility attribute may be set as static or dynamic.
*Non-touch units include X2, XLE, and XLEe.

**Touch Units include all XL series, Prime Series, and Micro OCS series controllers.
When the attribute is statically set to ON, the object is always visible and always responds to touch signals.
When the attribute is statically set invisible (unchecked) the object is not drawn but if the object is the front most object it responds to touch signals. For example, placing a statically invisible screen jump object in front of a bitmap allows the bitmap to be drawn but touching the location of the invisible screen jump causes the screen jump action to be performed.
When this attribute is dynamically enabled the visibility of the object is controlled by the associated bit in the override register. When the bit is ON the object is drawn and operates normally. When the bit is OFF the object is not drawn and does respond to any touch signals.

Flash – When statically set, an object will ’Flash’ the data display continuously or the animation ICON when the associated control register is in the ON state. When dynamically overridden, a three-state display can be created: OFF, ON solid and ON flash, depending both on the state of the control register and the Override Register.

Border – This attribute, available only statically, provides a decorative border (rectangle) drawn around the inside of the objects bounding rectangle. This border is typically removed to allow either a more elaborate border to be drawn with the drawing primitives or no border at all.

Enable Input – This attribute, optionally available only as dynamically overridden, allows the object or the object editor to ignore keystrokes directed to that object. This allows run-time determination on whether to restrict input access to that object. This allows the user to create operator privilege or in-motion lockout of object modification. If this box is NOT checked, the associated object always accepts input.

Dynamic

Color – This attribute allows some objects to dynamically change colors. Up to four additional colors can be selected for an object. If none of the color attribute override bits are set the object defaults to the color chosen in the main object properties.

Override variable – This register / variable is used to control the dynamic properties like visible, Flash, Enable Input and Colors.

Enhanced - Selecting Enhanced button displays the following window:

This option is used for configuring the different display attribute of graphic objects mentioned below. The following options can be configured either using constant values or via register / variable.

Opacity – User can configure the display opacity of graphic object. Range is 0 to 100.
Rotation – User can configure at what degree the object should appear rotated. Range is -180 to 180.
X and Y axis – User can configure at what X and Y axis the object should be placed on the screen. Range depends on the model selected.

Width and Height – User can configure at what width and height the object should be displayed on the screen. Range depends on the model selected.

Legend >>>

Only Font properties is supported, and user can select the available fonts / font size that will be applied to product / ingredients text.

Scale to Fit – Resizes imported image to match bounds of object. If not selected, the object’s lower-right bounds are recalculated to match the bitmap’s dimensions. If the bitmap is larger than the screen, it is clipped appropriately.

Maintain Aspect Ratio – Selecting this option maintains the aspect ratio of the selected image and applies to the graphic objects background.

Maintain Aspect Ratio (with clipping) - Selecting this option maintains the aspect ratio with clipping the selected image and applies to the graphic objects background.

Tile – Selecting this option applies the selected image to the graphic objects background in tile format.
