If a template group is defined, then pressing the short cut button will display a dialog box from
which a template can be chosen. If a template is not defined, then the first 40 items in the directory
will be displayed in a picture box. For example, if the Create Zones Button is pressed, and no
templates are defined, the first 40 icons found in the device directory will be displayed in a picture
box. However, if templates are defined, a selection of all zone templates will be shown. After a
template is chosen, only the icons associated with that template will be displayed. Select a toolbar
icon and a library of icons associated with that button will appear. Choose an icon by clicking on it
and dragging it to a location on the floor plan screen.
5.2 Graphic Floor Plans
Floor plans are bitmaps that are displayed on the main screen of the NCS. The bitmaps measure
780 x 538 pixels and are customized through Paint Shop Pro, a third party program that is packaged
with the NCS. All floor plan bitmaps must be stored in the directory \{install}\Floors. All images
saved with Paint Shop Pro must be saved in bitmap formats, not as the default .psp extension.
5.2.1 Adding Floor Plans to the NCS
A floor plan can be added to the NCS by selecting the Screens menu option, New Screens
command from the menu bar. A confirmation dialog box is then displayed. This dialog box allows
the user to select an existing floor plan and keymap, or create a new floor plan and key-map. In
both cases, a floor plan title must be selected. Refer to Figure 5.9.

If an existing floor plan or keymap is to be added, a dialog box appears allowing the user to select a
floor plan, refer to Figure 5.10 for an example. Once the floor plan and keymap are selected, they
will be displayed in the Graphic Setup Program.
