The features of a Button component can be modified using the Properties bar: name,
label text, on-click action, size, position, visibility, locked status, corner shape, font
style/color/size, and button color/shading.
To create a Graphics file:
1. Click the Components menu in the left navigation pane of the Graphics Application
window.
2. To assign an object to the component, click the arrows next to the panel and
objects names in the navigation pane to navigate to the desired object from the
object list in the left pane and drag it on top of the component that has just been
dropped onto the canvas.
3. Once all the desired components have been added to the canvas, click the Enter
Live Mode button in the upper right corner of the window, above the canvas. This
allows the panel to begin polling points and displaying current information on the
graphic.
NOTE: While in live mode you can open the Commander application and command
the objects to see the graphic being manipulated. However, if a PPCL program or any
other application is influencing the object, the change will be seen without any user
interaction such as using the Commander application.
To Publish a Graphics File:
1. From the File menu, select Publish.
2. Open the Field Panel Web Server user interface.
3. In the left navigation pane, click either the Devices/Points bar or the Graphics bar.

Editing the Graphics Animation
Components can be further manipulated by editing the animation. Several images of a
component can be saved individually to the user library for reuse with animation. Once
an object is assigned to the component, the object can be commanded to different
values. Each value commanded will access a different component graphic, which
creates the graphic animation.
To Edit the Animation:
1. On the canvas, highlight the component you want to animate by clicking it.
2. Click the Properties bar in the left navigation pane.
3. Click the Edit Animation button.
2. Click the Properties bar in the left navigation pane.
3. Click the Edit Animation button.
The Animation Editor window displays.
4. Use the Input Type, Values From, and To fields to customize the animation options
for the component graphic.
