Enhancements
The following enhancements are implemented in latest version of
Niagara.
- Mobile-friendly Px improvements, which adapt the display of Px graphics on various devices (PC, cellphone, tablet, etc.):
- Widgets display in response to their container size, which is a function of the Responsive CanvasPane, FlowPane, and ResponsivePane
components, giving you more control over how your graphics appear on a mobile device.
- The ResponsiveMigration programObject, available in the pxEditor palette under the Tools folder, processes a directory full of Px files, applying responsive rules to them to optimize their display when viewed on
mobile devices using HxPx.
- HxPx enhancements provide consistency of views and graphics across PC and mobile platforms. With them you to create one graphic
for multiple environments.
- Flexible graphics and legacy Mobile Px views look and function the same in an HxPx View as they do in
Workbench. This includes the Alarm Console, Scheduler view, Manager views and Property Sheet field editors.
Deprecated items
Niagara 4.x no longer supports fox, http, and platform tunneling. This means that any hyperlinks (that is, ORDs in Px graphics) that
are based on tunneling do not work.
In latest versions of
Niagara, the legacy
Niagara Mobile technology is deprecated. Although it continues to be supported and works as expected, you should not use it for any
new projects. Instead, use the mobile-friendly features of the HTML5 Hx Profile which provides a significantly improved mobile
user experience.
