Object 'TargetVisu'

Symbol:

Function: The object is used for configuring CODESYS TargetVisu in order to display the visualization directly on the controller of an integrated or connected panel.

Requirement: The CODESYS control runtime environment is equipped with the CODESYS TargetVisu component. The object itself is inserted below the visualization manager.

CODESYS TargetVisu can be executed on different platforms, from embedded controllers to powerful PC-based systems on different operating systems. Therefore, it can be run on Windows, Windows Embedded CE, Linux, QNX, or VxWorks. A ready-made adaptation to the graphics interface of the systems is available on these operating systems. An adaptation is required for embedded controllers or other operating systems. In addition, there are device manufacturers that integrate visualizations into external applications by means of ActiveX controls.

Scaling options

Fixed	: Fixed size of the visualization (original size).
Isotropic:	: The size of the visualization is adapted to the dimensions of the display device, retaining the proportions of the visualization.
Anisotropic:	: The size of the visualization is adjusted to the size of the display device, for example a screen.
Use scaling options for dialogs	The dialogs, also for keypad and numpad, are scaled like the visualization (drawn with the same scaling factor). This is an advantage when a dialog was created to match the visualization because then they are scaled together.
Use automatically detected client size	: The visualization fills the screen of the display device completely.
Use specified client size	: The values in Client height and Client width are used for the size of the visualization. The visualization fills this screen area only.
Client height	Height of the visualization (in pixels).
Client width	Width of the visualization (in pixels).

Presentation options

Antialiased drawing

: Antialiasing is used in the visualization editor for drawing a visualization as a TargetVisu and a TargetVisu variant.

Hint: If a horizontal or vertical line is drawn blurry on a specific visualization platform, then this can be corrected by an offset of 0.5px in the direction of the line thickness (see element property Absolute movement, option Use REAL values). Requirement: The platform in use supports using REAL coordinates.

Default text input

Input with
Touchscreen	Text input on the display variant with touchscreen. The keypad or numpad dialog opens.
Keyboard	Text input on the display variant with an ordinary keyboard or a virtual keyboard (on Linux for example)
Effect: When you configure a user input for default text input, select an input configuration for input action Write variable, and configure the Input type as Default, then the settings are used here.
