This section contains the reference links for all the User Interface Graphical Elements you can add to a Display. The Graphical Elements are divided in the following groups:
Shapes: Platform native drawing primary shapes such as Rectangle, Ellipse, Polygon, Polyline and Paths (A Path is combination of shapes);
Images: Graphical images imported and embedded into the solution, from various graphical file formats;
Industrial Icons: Native platform feature to allow easy use of most typical industrial icons for navigation and User Interface information;
Interaction Controls: User Interaction Elements, like Buttons, Text Elements, and typical Windows Controls like CheckBox or RadioButton;
Editors Controls: User Controls for editing, Date and Time Picker, Color Selection and a Calculator;
Smart Symbols: Native platform feature providing an extensive, and extensible, library of industrial symbols;
Components: Components are custom User Controls organized in the following sub-groups:
Charts: Native platform user controls various types of charts.
Containers: Native platform user controls to displays and documents container.
Gauges: Native platform user controls to linear and circular gauges
Modules: Native platform user controls to display information from runtime modules.
Navigation: Native platform user controls to User Interface navigation.
Third-Party: Portable, Web-Only, or Windows-Only user controls created by third-parties integrated to the platform.
Charts
Charts graphically represent data, enabling users to visualize and interpret complex information quickly. They support various formats including bar, line, and pie charts, dynamically generated from data sets.
Containers
Containers organize UI elements, grouping related controls or content for efficient space management. They can include frames, panels, and scrollable areas, enhancing the structure and navigability of user interfaces.
Editors
Editor controls facilitate content modification and settings adjustments. This group encompasses text editors, date and time pickers, color selectors, and calculators, providing interactive elements for user input and customization.
Gauges
Gauges display quantitative measurements such as speed, progress, or temperature. Available in linear or circular formats, they dynamically reflect real-time data, essential in monitoring and dashboard applications.
Images
Images, imported in various graphical formats, enhance user interfaces visually. Embedded directly into the interface, they convey information and improve aesthetic appeal across web, mobile, and desktop applications.
Industrial Icons
Industrial Icons provide intuitive symbols for industrial applications, facilitating quick recognition and navigation. Integrated natively, these icons represent specific industrial functions or data, crucial in industrial control systems.
Interaction
Interaction elements include buttons, text elements, checkboxes, and radio buttons, essential for user input and navigation. They respond to user actions, enabling efficient interaction within the user interface.
Modules
Module controls display information specific to runtime modules. They automatically update to reflect module data, customized for modular software architectures in enterprise, scientific, and technical applications.
Navigation
Navigation controls guide users through different sections of the application. Including menus, tabs, and navigation bars, they are crucial in multi-page or complex applications for seamless user journey and interface exploration.
Portable
Portable API and third-party controls provide the specification to add user friendly controls which can be used in WPF, HTML5 or made to Portable, platform independent.
Shapes
Shapes form the foundational elements of UI design, including rectangles, ellipses, polygons, and more. Used individually or in combination, they are fundamental in creating layouts and designs in graphical and UI design.
Symbols
Symbols provide an extensive library of industrial icons, representing specific functions or data. Customizable and easily integrated, they are used predominantly in specialized industrial interfaces such as SCADA systems.
