FTview 7.0 - how to display af picture

7 posts in this topic

I would like to import a Logo-picture in png-format.

Alternatively in bmp-format.

How is that done on a Display?

You import the file as an "image" and at that point it will be part of the image library and is available.

I already did that - but how exactly do I then use it in my display?

I have a Picture of my logo. I want to have it in the corner of my display. How is that don?

I cant drag it from the Image library - and there is no "Insert"" menu point.

Have you read through the users manual for FTView 7?

If you can find a Lab exercise PDF, it should answer you many questions on building your first FTView HMI application.

I am looking in the manual - but have not found the answer to this question.

As you can see from my other questions I am looking around for different issues. I know that ideally I should be properly trained and make exercises - but if I can just get answers to the very specific questions - then that would help me a lot.

Since FTview is not completely intuitive (whatever that is...) sometimes quite simple tasks are difficult. However - if you know what to do - it's easy.

 

So do you know how to insert a Picture on a Display?

Yes, the FTView 7 User Manual is vague for this step; page 308

Refer to page 120 of the Lab Manual for importing PNG/BMP/JPEG graphical objects in a FTView 7 application.

Thank you for this. I can see that the Lab Manual may come handy as I explore FTview.

Anyway - I had figured out that I could add a Picture to a button.

And now - using the Image Tool I can place a Picture anyway on a Display!

Thank you for your help.
