Common graphics tasks

This section provides instructions for and examples of common graphics tasks such as: adding views, making widgets and adding data bindings, as well as creating nav files and generating reports.

A typical workflow for creating a dynamic visual representation of your control logic involves these basic phases:

  • Add a view

    When you create a view, this creates a relationship between a Px file and a component.

  • Bind the data

    Add widgets to your Px file and pass data to these widgets using data binding. Bound data from the control objects animates and updates the widgets.

  • Create a nav file

    Create a navigation tree to easily find and navigate between views.

  • Generate a report

    Optionally, data presented in a view can be converted to a PDF report. You can configure the email recipients and a delivery schedule for reports.
