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. |
Info |
Always create at least two templates. |
