Dialog: Options: Visualization Styles

Symbol:

Function: The dialog is used for configuring the display of library visualizations and visualizations in the POU view in the visualization editor. In addition, it is used for configuring the tab Visualization Manager – Settings (Style Settings group).

Call: Tools → Options menu, Visualization Styles category

These settings are not applied at visualization runtime. At runtime, only the settings of the Visualization Manager are available on the Settings tab.

Note

Most options are applied to elements in the POU view and not generally to the device tree view.

Style Configuration for Libraries and Global Visualizations

Use no visualization style	: Visualizations in the POUs view or from libraries behave as if no style had been selected.
Use the following visualization style	: Visualizations in the POUs view or from libraries behave as if the selected style were active.
Derive visualization style automatically	: Visualizations in the POUs view or from libraries derive the style configuration from the Visualization Managers of the current project. If this is not possible or the result is unclear, then the style selected below is used as a fallback solution.
Fallback if no visualization style could be derived	Style from list box Fallback solution in the case that no visualization style can be derived Example: On the display variant, the automatically derived style results in a poor display due to the device.
