Screen design

 

This chapter explains the screen design aspects required to build a monitoring screen system with FA-Panel.

 

This section explains the following:

 

theme

Bind Expressions

Visual theme

 

FA-Panel has a feature called visual themes. By switching visual themes, you can dynamically switch the appearance of the screen display (color, 3D display, flat display, etc.).

 

System Resources

 

FA-Panel has several general-purpose icon images and sound files (such as alarm sounds) built in as system resources. These resources can be used freely without being aware of the existence of the actual files, just by specifying "sys:" at the beginning of the file name.

 

Animation

 

FA-Panel has an animation function that allows you to dynamically move or change the shape of various objects attached to a form (Animate method). By making good use of the animation function, you can create richer expressions, such as accelerating the movement gradually.
