Templates and pictures

Creating a template:

Templates define the screen area, in which the pictures are opened then. Every picture is based on a template.

Creating a picture:

zenon offers different pre-defined picture types, so also the simplest "Standard", where a screen area can freely be defined. For the graphical design of the pictures there are hardly any limitations.

Extending the picture with picture elements:

zenon offers pre-defined vector and dynamic picture elements, which can be linked with functions resp. variables.
