Movicon Help on Line - Rel. 11.7.1301
The Screens are the fundamental resources in creating graphic interfaces. This chapter describes the Screen resources, by also referring to the appropriate chapters on the techniques used for inserting drawings, commands, controls into Screens.
The Screen window is one of the key elements in a Movicon project. The Screen is used to supervise the process (or part of it) by using the graphic commands for animations activated by field variables.
The Screen controls, described in the appropriate chapters, are used for setting commands or variables to the field, as well as facilitating supervision tasks.
The Movicon workspace can be composed of one Screen only, but using the "Embedded View" control is possible display a Screen within other Screen.

The Screen window represents the projects screen pages. However Screen can be inserted into other Screens (by using the 'Embedded View' control) to get a composition of more Screens in the same page. In this case, however, the parent Screen will always remain the Container Screen. |
The Screen windows are preset to contain, apart from graphical drawings, controls such as all the graphical command functions or displays already preset by Movicon. The descriptions for inserting and setting controls in Screen windows are found in the appropriate chapters.
An example of the Screen page. A Screen is the container of controls and designs and can receive background image files.
