COLOR ANIMATION
On the Graphics tab, in the Animations group, click Color to add the animation to a selected object. The Colors

expression.
Double-click on the object to open the Object Properties dialog.
Object Properties: Colors
You can use this dialog to specify the following parameters:
• Type: Determines the mode in which this animation works:
• By Limit: When selecting this type, you can specify up to four limits (Change Limit) for this animation
and a color for each limit. When the value of the tag or expression configured in the Tag/Expr field
reaches the limits, the color associated with the respective limit is applied to the object.
• By Color: When selecting this type, you can specify the code of the color that must be applied to the
object directly in the Tag/Expr field. Using this code, you can apply any color supported by your device
to the object.
Tip: You can configure the RGBColor function in the Tag/Expr field when Type = By Color. This
allows you to configure the color by its RGB codes. See Color Interface for a table with the codes
for the most commonly used colors.
• Tag/Expression field: Type the name of a tag or expression you want to monitor. When Type = By Limit, IWS
compares the result of the tag/expression with the specified Change Limits to determine the proper color
for the selected object. When Type = By Color, the result of this field sets the color that will be applied to
the object.
• Change Limit field: Type a limit value (a numeric constant or tag) for the color change. The numbers must
be configured in ascendant order according to the following sequence of the fields displayed on the Object
