SECTION 7
Graphics Library
This chapter describes the CX-Supervisor Graphics Library. The chapter
includes details of how the Graphics Library may be used for storing frequently
used objects for use with a number of applications.
7-1 Overview
The Graphics Library is a repository for objects that are often used in CX-
Supervisor pages. The Graphics Library Editor allows access to Libraries from
a drop-down list box. Objects are stored in the Library and can be removed or
copied, allowing quick addition of frequently used objects to pages or which
appear in a project a number of times. Libraries are not project dependant, so
objects can be copied from one project to another.
7-2 Graphics Library
To activate the Library, click the button. If the Library is already open but
displayed as an icon, double click the Library icon.
An example of the Graphics Library Editor is shown below, but note that actual
library names and contents may differ from that shown in the following
chapters.
7-2-1 Create Library
Each Library has a unique name which is entered when the Library is created.
To create a library, click the button. The Add New Library dialog box
opens:
Enter the name of the new Library file and click the OK button, or cancel the
addition of the Library by clicking on the Cancel button.
If an object is dragged into the Library without a Library file open, then the Add
New Library dialog box opens. Refer to chapter 7, Manipulating Objects, for
details on dragging objects into the Library.
7-2-2 Opening a Library
The Graphics Library Editor consists of a number of Libraries which are
selected from the drop down list box in the toolbar of the dialog box.
