Page Designer
The Page Designer displays a representation of the page
with some extra graphical elements to assist editing.
Depending on the orientation selected in the settings, the
page will be displayed either in portrait or landscape
format. Below this the properties of the selected item are
shown. When elements such as buttons are selected, the
properties of those objects are displayed, otherwise the
page’s own properties are displayed.
Everything displayed in a page is an image or a
compound-image type. These elements can be found in
the image galleries and dragged and dropped onto the
designer. Alternatively the elements can be added to the
page by double clicking them or using copy and paste.
The Grid Size field allows the user to set a raster for
helping page elements to be neatly aligned with one
another. Smaller values allow a finer level of control but
increases the difficulty in aligning elements.
Page Properties
Page properties are displayed for viewing and editing when a page is selected. If another
element such as a button is selected, clicking on the background image will re-display the
page properties.
Pages have the following properties:
Zone
and
Amp
/
Preamp
are used for controlling and displaying feedback from
Axium equipment. Buttons and volume controls in the page will use these settings,
unless they are overridden in the controls themselves. Setting a zone in the page is a
quick way to make all buttons in the page have a zone, so if a button must not be
zoned (e.g. for displaying the “Ampon” state), the page’s zone should be left
undefined and the buttons should be individually zoned.
Home page
decides which of the pages is the home page, which is the first page
displayed by the touch panel when started. Beginning from this page it should be
possible to access all other pages within a configuration (optionally via any number of
other pages) and these other pages normally provide a way for the user to navigate
back to the home page. Only one page per configuration can be the home page.
Load sound
is for playing a sound when a page is loaded, i.e. displayed. A sound
can be dragged or copied from a sound gallery into the field. A context menu is
displayed when the field is clicked with the right mouse button providing editing
functions and sound playback.
Load action
is for executing a command when a page is loaded. This may be useful
for selecting a function on some equipment that is relevant to the context of the
page. Commands can be dragged or copied from a database and macros can be
dragged or copied from the resource list into the field. A context menu is displayed
when the field is clicked with the right mouse button providing editing functions.
Backgrounds
If no background is defined, the page is displayed with a plain white background.
Backgrounds can be added to the selected page by selecting one from an image gallery
