State-of-the-art Graphics
Create a professional user interface that is easy-to-use and understand by taking advantage of a component library of vector-based graphics that can be scaled and rotated while maintaining their superior quality. iX Software creates a consistent look and feel among products, graphics and environments by offering intuitive design features for programmers and non-programmers alike.
-
VECTOR-BASED GRAPHICS
iX supports WPF objects and provides vector-based graphics that can be scaled and rotated without the jagged edges or inconsistent color transitions of bitmap images.
-
WINDOWS MEDIA OBJECTS
Windows media objects such as Internet Explorer®, Windows® Media Player and PDF viewer can be incorporated into your HMI application.
-
COMPONENT LIBRARY
iX provides a library of ready-made components perfect for industrial applications and for managing predefined and user-defined components.
-
GRAPHICAL EFFECTS (TxC and EPC only)
Some terminals offer the ability to add drop shadows, bevels, rounded graphic rectangle effects and opacity to objects.
-

CHARTING OPTIONS
Visually present your data using X/Y charts that are common in today’s spreadsheet programs.
-
DRAWING OBJECTS
iX includes drawing functionality so that static shapes such as line, rectangle and polyline can be used to draw background graphics. Data values may be linked to shapes via the dynamics function, allowing them to change the object's appearance such as color and position.
-
DYNAMIC OBJECTS
Add powerful graphics to your projects with dynamic objects such as buttons, analog numerics, sliders, circular meters, linear meters, symbols, trends, clock objects and text objects.
-
NAVIGATION CONTROLS
The navigation controls of iX offer data input and control options (list box, buttons, roller panel, etc.) common in today’s industrial and consumer devices.
-
POP-UP SCREENS
Pop-up screens give your application a familiar Windows feel. In addition, pop-up screens offer a multi-window environment with several screens being able to be active in the same window.
