PRIMITIVE DESCRIPTIONS
CRIMSON USER MANUAL - MODULAR CONTROLLER
THE AUTO TAG PRIMITIVE
The Auto Tag primitive allows you to select a tag, and then automatically place
the appropriate text primitive on the display. For example, selecting an integer tag
will allow insertion of an appropriately-configured integer text primitive.
This is the icon you will use most often for adding tags to a page. It first displays the dialog
box shown below to allow tag selection, and then creates one of the five tag text primitives
described in the next section. The new primitive will be configured so as to display the tag in
question using its label and its formatting properties, as defined when the tag was created.
THE TAG TEXT PRIMITIVES
The tag text primitives are used to display or edit an expression in textual form. Primarily,
they are used to display tags, in which case the default format is taken from the Format tab
associated with that tag in the Data Tags window. If a non-tag expression is entered—or if
you want the formatting to differ from the default values for a tag—the format data can be
overridden as required. There is one type of tag text for each tag family…
The Flag Text primitive is used to display a true or false condition.
The Integer Text primitive is used to display an integer expression.
The Real Text primitive is used to display a floating-point expression.
The Multi Text primitive is used to display a multi-state condition.
The String Text primitive is used to display a string expression.
The properties of a tag text primitive are displayed using three tabbed pages.
