A fill area is linked to a polygon. The area bounded by the polygon is filled
as a function of a current process value. Minimum and maximum values
associated with the fill area are set as constants or configured as other
process values. The area can be filled vertically or horizontally. The fill area
reference line is given in percent.
The line style, line width, pattern and colors for the background are specified
with:

Line attributes/Area attributes, or via the toolbox with
the L
INE or AREA button.
The color settings for the borders and the flooded area are made in the color
selection parameter windows (see page D-13, Color selection). The colors
can be made to change as a function of binary variables and/or messages.
The static object polygon can no longer be selected individually, but only as a fill area.
Assigning a different polygon to a given fill area makes the previously assigned polygon
available again as static graphic object.
A fill area is configured using the parameters on the Process value, Scaling, Bit allocation,
Display and General tabs.
