The brochure contains examples of how system integrators and others can use these new features to create attractive and cost-effective solutions. We want every new version of WideQuick to make project work easier for system integrators by improving existing features and implementing advanced new ones. We have focused strongly on the user interface in the development of version 10.0. We have developed new features that give system integrators even more opportunities to create modern and intuitive user interfaces. Such new features include Theme, Zoom and Pan in workviews, Tooltip and MouseOver, Window Manager and the ability to focus on workviews. We have also added a map object where the map information for the object updates online and where the map can contain smart WideQuick objects for user interaction. The previous line chart object has been replaced with a brand new one. The new line chart object is considerably more powerful and flexible than its predecessor and can also be used by WideQuick Web Client. One eagerly awaited major new feature is the ability to run WideQuick Runtime as a service from version 10.0 onwards. Other new features include new image management options and a debugging tool that will identify a syntax error in a script for example. We have also added and improved the following features: CSV import of drawings produced in pro- grams such as AutoCAD, new logging options, and enhanced functionality in the list object and the tab object. - 3 Theme – Colors Theme is a new feature that makes it much easier to create standardised, modern user interfaces. You can configure a colour theme for WideQuick Runtime in WideQuick Designer, which can then be applied automatically to all workviews and pop-up windows throughout the application. This new feature also enables you to change the colour for parts of the application that could previously only have a specific predefined colour. Description of the function The Theme feature opens up further possibilities for Using the colours from Theme in the objects available in customising the appearance of the WideQuick project the object library opens up even more possibilities. You and creating a homogeneous look for the application. can then create an application where Theme applies to Theme applies mainly to interaction objects such as but- all of the project’s workviews, including all constituent tons, sliders, history objects, etc., but can also be used objects, depending on different factors and conditions. for the background colour of workviews and the colors in individual objects, for example.

Theme – colors is included as standard with the license levels Extended, Advanced and Premium. 4 - Theme – Colors Example In the example below, we have applied new themes for the workview as described on the previous page. This func- tion can be applied to many different parts of the user interface by using the theme olours for interaction objects, background colours and individual objects. - 5 Theme – Colors Cont. Example In this example, we have used Theme to change the appearance of the workview depending on whether it is day or night; in other words you can select a theme depending on the ambient light where the screen is. Theme applies to all window titles, the background color, the tab object, colors of the constituent objects, etc. WideQuick Designer has a brand new dialog that makes creating a new theme easy. When you configure a new theme, WideQuick Designer shows an example of how the finished result will look in WideQuick Runtime, Remote and Web Client. You can name and save any number of themes and then easily call them in WideQuick Runtime to decide which theme to use. 7 Zoom and Pan in workviews From WideQuick version 10.0 onwards, you can zoom and pan the content of a workview in WideQuick Runtime, Remote and Web Client. This function enables you to create a user interface that is more intuitive for the user and where the workviews can contain far more information than before, while also allowing you to zoom in on the information you want. Description of the function The properties window for workviews in WideQuick ibility of workviews configured using earlier versions of Designer has been given a new tab called Layout. On this WideQuick, this feature is not enabled for a workview by tab, you can configure whether the zoom and pan fea- default. ture is enabled for a particular workview. It is now pos- sible to set whether the objects are to be scaled against The function enables the current zoom level and panning the workview while also preserving the height-to-width position to be read and written by a script, opening up a ratio of objects. The sliders can be hidden, displayed wide range of smart and exciting solutions. as needed, or always displayed.

In order to maintain the backward compat- Example Example 1 In this example, we have a workview that is located in a multiviewer, in other words it occupies part of the user inter- face. You can zoom in on a selected area in the multiviewer using the scroll wheel on a mouse or the touchscreen of one of our operator panels. 8 - Example 2 This example shows part of the same workview as in Exam- ple 1 and what it looks like when the system is configured to display the sliders at the sides. Example 3 You can configure the system to zoom in on a particular object automatically when an alarm is activated, for example. Any condition can be used to determine which section is zoomed in on in a workview. Example 4 The system is able to detect the current zoom level so the desired information can be dis- played, depending on the zoom level. You can do this in any number of steps so that more information is displayed the more you zoom into the workview. This example shows the same type of event as in the previous example, but here we have used the zoom level to display more detailed information about the object automatically using a pop-up. Example 5 As the zoom level and panning position can both be written and read, zoom and pan can be controlled using a range of functions in WideQuick. You can also change the zoom level and panning position in multiple workviews at the same time. In this slightly more advanced example, we have shown the same information in both workviews but with different zoom factors; the left-hand image is an overview. When you use the zoom and pan function in one of the workviews, it acts on both workviews at the same time. So although the left-hand image is an overview, it does not always show all the information available for the workview because the zoom and pan function is also applied to this view. The zoom level and panning position also control
