5 Extend Project with Simple Objects
A condition for the procedures described in this section is that the following
configuration steps, defined in the Section "Basic Steps" have been carried out:
• Creating a New Project (Page 3–1)
• Defining Screen Partitions (Page 3–2)
• Creating a Start Screen (Page 3–4)
• Terminating ProTool/Pro RT (Page 3–5)
5.1 Inserting Graphics in the Start Screen
Proceed as follows in order to insert a company logo, for example, in the start screen:
• Click on the Graphic icon in the screen editor
• Click on the required position for the field in the screen and draw the field to the
required size
• Select whether an existing graphic is to be inserted in the project or a new one
created
• Insert existing graphic:
Select the "Create from file" option. Either enter the path name directly or search
through the directory structure of the data medium by selecting "Browse".
• Create new graphic:
Select the "Create new" option. Select the object type required from the list,
e.g. Bitmap. Click "OK" to start the associated application, e.g. Microsoft Paint.
Create the graphic, close the application and return to ProTool.
5.2 Adding a Second Screen
At this point, the project only contains the start screen. If other screens need to be
added, the operator must be able to switch between the screens.
This example illustrates how a second screen is linked to the start screen. A button
should be assigned to each screen which enables toggling between the screens.
Creating a second screen
• Double click on "Screens" in the project window
A new screen is added and opened.
