Function
The graphics window displays the progress of the contour chain as
you parameterize the contour elements.
The currently selected element is displayed in orange in the graphics
window.
The created contour element can be displayed in various line types
and colors depending on its status:
HMI Embedded
Black
Orange
Yellow
Black continuous line Defined element
Dotted line
Dashed line
The current status of the contour is displayed insofar as it can be
interpreted by the control on the basis of parameter inputs. If the
contour is still not displayed in the programming graphic, further
values still need to be entered. Check the contour elements you have
already programmed. You may have forgotten to enter all the data
you know.
The coordinate system scaling is automatically adapted to changes in
the complete contour.
The position of the coordinate system is displayed in the graphics
window.
