EDITING FLAG TAGS
CRIMSON USER MANUAL - MODULAR CONTROLLER
COLOR PROPERTIES *
Color properties within tag represent a foreground and a background color that will be used to
display the tag’s state in textual form. Either of these colors can then be used to define the
color of other animation primitives. The example below shows a color pair being edited…
The drop-down list contains the following colors…
• The sixteen standard VGA colors.
• The sixteen custom colors defined by the user.
• Fourteen shades of gray that fall between black and white.
The More option at the bottom of the list can be used to invoke the color selection dialog…
This dialog offers several ways of defining a color. You can pick from the palette, pick from
the “rainbow” window, or enter the explicit HSL or RGB parameters. The dialog also allows
custom colors to be added to the palette. These will appear whenever the dialog is invoked,
and will also appear in the drop-down list described above. Note that not every color that is
displayed in the “rainbow” will be capable of being rendered on the virtual HMI’s 256-color
display. Crimson will choose the nearest color within the abilities of the device.
EDITING FLAG TAGS
You will recall that flag tags represent a true or false value. The following sections describe
the various tabs that are displayed on the right-hand side of the Data Tags window when
editing one of the various kinds of flag tags.
* Not present on monochrome virtual HMI.
