Graph ics Li braries
Graphics Libraries are files that come with EasyBuilder which contain graphics shapes and bitmaps. Over 500
predefined shapes and bitmaps are included with EasyBuilder. In addition, you can create new bitmaps or shapes
and add them to the libraries. You can even create new libraries as you need them. Each library contains a
maximum of 48 shapes or bitmaps. Each shape or bitmap has a maximum of 32 ‘states’ or pictures tied to it.
EasyBuilder allows a maximum of ten bitmap libraries and ten shape libraries to be open per project file. Finally, a
group library can be used to store several graphics objects (such as a keypad) to be easily used when needed. For
example, you may create a bar graph that could be used in several different projects. The bar graph can be stored
into the group library for easy retrieval.
All libraries are accessed from the Library menu or by clicking the appropriate icon in the Standard toolbar.
