You use the Galaxy Browser to browse for graphics from:
-
The Industrial Graphic Editor, when editing a graphic from the Galaxy, being either a graphic from an object (Template or Instance) or a graphic from the Visualization folder.
-
InTouch WindowMaker when editing a managed InTouch application hosted by the Galaxy.
The graphic currently being edited (or browsed from) does not appear in the list of graphics.
Within the same user session, the Galaxy Browser remembers the last browsed location for graphics and presents it whenever called as the starting location so that context is kept. Initial default location for graphic browsing is the Visualization folder with the root selected (Galaxy node).
You can use the Galaxy Browser to browse graphics from:
|
|
The Visualization folder. The browser shows the Visualization folder organization on the tree in the left pane and a list of the graphics contained in the currently selected node (Galaxy node or folder node) in the right pane. |
|
|
AutomationObject templates. The browser shows the Template folder in the left pane and the graphics associated with the currently selected template in the right pane. |
|
|
AutomationObject instances. The browser shows a flat list of existing instances of objects in the left pane. The right pane shows the graphics associated with the currently selected instance. You create or apply filters to reduce the scope of the instances shown in the left pane. |
|
|
Relative references. This is possible only when you edit a graphic belonging to an object and browse for graphics from that specific object. |
