[Restrictions]
S A maximum of 256 lamps can be registered for one screen. For an overlapping
screen comprising 8 child screens, the maximum is 1024.
There is no restriction on the number of lamps that can be registered for one
screen data file: any number can be registered as long as the data file capacityis
not exceeded. However, if a large number ofelements areregistered, checkthat
the restrictions on element display are complied with by referring to “Display Re-
strictions” (page 644).
S When polygons are used as the display graphics for normal (standard) lamps,
one polygon can be given up to 255 vertices.
S Image/library lamps are subject to the maximum simultaneous display restric-
tion imposedon image and library data. This means that a maximum total of 256
image/library lamps and image and library data can be displayed on one screen.
For an overlapping screen comprising 8 child screens, the maximum is 1024.
S When library data is displayed with an image/library lamp, if the library data pro-
jects outside the screen area, nothing is displayed. Usually, the Support Tool
ensures that the data does not project out of the screen area.
S If no data is registered for the specified image/library lamp code, nothing will be
displayed.
S Among lamps, the display order is determined by the order in which the lamps
were created. However, this order among lamps can be changed with the Sup-
port Tool.

are described separately for each case.
