Overriding Element Appearance Depending on Quality and Status of its Attributes

You can configure any animated element to appear differently depending on the quality and status of its associated attributes and tags if your HMI application supports it.

For animated elements, you can:

• Override the appearance of the text font, style, and blinking.

• Override the appearance of the fill style and blinking.

• Override the appearance of the line style, weight, pattern, and blinking.

• Preview all status appearances in one dialog box.

• Reset the status appearances to their defaults.

• Use an outline to indicate a specified status or quality.

  Note: Instead of overriding the appearance of elements on the canvas, you can use a status element. The status element shows an icon representing quality and status of monitored attributes and tags.
