DspDirty

Forces Plant SCADA to update an AN. Normally, Plant SCADA updates the animation on the AN only if the data has changed. This function tells Plant SCADA to update the AN the next time it animates the AN - even if the data has not changed.

Use this function when you have complex animations that overlap. If two or more animations overlap, you should use the DspDel() or DspDirty() function on their ANs, and then display them in the same order (when they need to be updated).

Note: This function was designed to only be used on Cicode objects, or the animation point object from the version 3.xx/4.xx toolbox.

Syntax
