4.6.4.3.1 Position
Allows the precise placement (in pixels) of the output field by entering coordinates in the X and Y fields. When
the 'Object Properties' dialog box is opened, the current coordinates of the output field are indicated.
The output field can be more simply and conveniently positioned with the mouse by clicking and dragging it. The
exact position can be adapted to a grid (see also The Picture Editor).
4.6.4.3.2 Data Point
A process variable is connected here whose value determines which bitmap should be selected. The variable
must be of data type UINT and should only be set in a value range corresponding to how the bitmaps are
defined. Selecting undefined bitmap numbers is not supported.
4.6.4.3.3 Status
Allows the connection of an additional process variable which enables further output field control (see also
Controlling Fields with Status Variables).
4.6.4.3.4 Bitmaps
Introduction to Visual Components 2.3
A list of bitmaps is managed in this panel. They are displayed depending on the value of the connected variable.
The bitmap number is shown in the first column. This is the same value which the process variable must have in
order to show this bitmap.
The name of the bitmap appears in the second column. Clicking on the field opens a list where the desired
bitmap can be selected.
