Element styles

An element style defines a set of visual properties that determine the appearance of text, lines, graphic outlines, and interior fill shown in Industrial Graphics. An element style that is applied to a graphic sets pre-configured visual property values that take precedence over a graphic’s native visual properties.

Element styles provide the means for developers to establish consistent visual standards in their applications. An element style can define the same visual properties of text, lines, fill, and outlines for all graphics that belong to an application.

Likewise, element styles can show the current status of an object represented by a graphic. For example, an element style animation can be applied to a graphic when an object transitions to an alarm state.
