Templates

A template has to be created before we can draw our first picture. Every picture is based on a template.

 

A template is the basis for the window technique. This is where general settings are made, like:

Size of template = Size of picture

Position of the picture on the screen

 

And so a general layout is created. This offers some advantages like:

A consistent structure of pictures throughout the project.

Size and position only has to be set once.

Changing a template will change all the pictures based on it.

Functions can especially refer to one template (Alarms: Ackn. flashing, Hardcopy, etc.)

Pictures rarely have to be closed by hand, as there can only be one picture of a template open at a time.
