L-VIS User Manual 101 LOYTEC

Version 6.2 LOYTEC electronics GmbH

 URL: If the contents have the form of a URL, like http://www.host.com, the

specified URL will be followed and displayed in a browser window of the size and

position given by the text control.

 <html>: If the contents start with an <html> tag, they will be parsed as HTML

source and displayed in the browser. Useful if a complete HTML page was created

in a web design tool and pasted into the text control.

 <body>: If the contents do not look like a URL and do not start with an <html>

tag, they will be used as the body of an empty web page, that is, the L-WEB

application will generate the required HTML headers around it, including the

<body> tag, and fill the empty body with the contents of the text control. This

mode can be used to display HTML formatted text without having to provide the

full source code of the HTML page.

If web browser mode is enabled, additional options are available to change the way the web

content is displayed.

9.5.2 Bitmap Control

Bitmap controls are very similar to text controls, only that they display graphic elements

instead of text. Otherwise the same behavior applies for input controls.

A static bitmap may be set on the Common Properties page, which is shown when no

mapping table is attached to the control or no value was set, so that the control does not

know which entry from the mapping table to choose.

The bitmap control will automatically adjust and fix its size according to the loaded

bitmaps. If there is no bitmap to display, the size can be set manually and the bitmap

controls area will be empty, with just a frame drawn around it in the selected frame color.

The following colors may be set for bitmap controls on the Color property page:

Color Name

Element to which the color applies

Bitmap

Color of the frame which is drawn if no bitmap was assigned, or color in

which a monochrome bitmap is drawn. May be overridden by colors from

the mapping table. For color bitmaps, this color definition is ignored.

Selection Frame

Frame drawn around the text, if the control is selected. Also used to draw

the grid of the drop-down list, from which a new text element is chosen

(input controls only).

Background

Color of the controls background, if no bitmap is shown. Otherwise this is

the color which should be considered the background of the graphic. If the

transparent check box is set, all pixels using this color will be transparent.

In true color projects, transparency is usually controlled by the alpha

channel of the image.

Table 15: Color assignment for bitmap controls

NOTE: For best results, use PNG format for your images and embed transparency information as

alpha channel in the image. Using this image in true color projects, transparency will be

fully automatic based on the alpha channel data. When used in VGA color projects, the

image will be converted to VGA palette, all transparent pixels will be set to color index 248

(a duplicate of middle-grey), and the background setting will be color 248 transparent, so

that transparency will be fully automatic in this case as well.

9.5.3 Push Button

Push buttons are not provided as a specialized control object type, but are implemented by a

special mode of operation, which can be activated for text controls and for bitmap controls,

to create push buttons showing text or graphic elements using all the features of these
