Fotonic Posted January 27, 2019 Report Share Posted January 27, 2019 Hi, quick question: is it possible to change X,Y position of an HMI element while the PLC program is running or are graphical elements static once downloaded? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVP 2023 Joe Tauser Posted January 28, 2019 MVP 2023 Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 You can't modify the X & Y values of an object like a indicator or button but you can have a list of images by pointer. What exactly are you trying to do? Joe T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know PLC is not the right platform for such things but was just wondering if it would've been possible to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVP 2023 Flex727 Posted January 29, 2019 MVP 2023 Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 With proper preparation of the images, it's likely that list of images by pointer will accomplish what you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stembera Posted February 18, 2019 Report Share Posted February 18, 2019 Dear Fotonic, If you are using Vision OPLC with B&W display, you can use "Moving image" dynamic object. Such object can move between two positions accordingly of variable value. If you are very patient, you can use freehand drawing on display with functions "Draw pixel", "Draw Line", "Clear Rectangle" from the Function Blocks menu.
