6.5.4 Graphic representation of the contour
Function
The graphics window displays the progress of the contour chain as
you are parameterizing the contour elements.
The element you have selected is displayed in red in the graphics
window.
Navigation within the contour is described in "Contour programming".
The created contour element can be displayed in various line types
and colors depending on its status:
Color/line Meaning
Black Programmed contour
Red Current contour element
Green Alternative element
Black solid line Element is fully defined
Light blue line Element is partially defined
Dashed green line Alternative element
The current status of the contour is displayed insofar as it can be
interpreted by the control on the basis of parameter inputs. If the
contour is still not displayed in the programming graphic, further
values still need to be entered. Check the contour elements you have
already programmed. You may have forgotten to enter all the data
you know.
