Changing the Dimensions of Predefined Pictures

To change the dimensions of predefined pictures:

  1. In Classic view, in the iFIX WorkSpace, click the New Picture button on the toolbar.

-Or-

In Ribbon view, click the WorkSpace button, select New, and click Picture.

  1. Proceed through the Create Picture Wizard until the Choose Configuration page appears.

NOTE: You must select Create Picture(s) from a Predefined Configuration from the Introduction page to be able to change the attributes of predefined pictures.

  1. On the Choose Configuration page, click the Modify Configuration button.
  2. From the Sizes tab, select a predefined picture, then edit the active fields for that picture.

There are only certain fields that you can change for each predefined picture. The following list indicates the active fields for each predefined picture:

    • Main – top, left, width, or height
    • Header – height
    • Footer – height
    • Left Navigation – width
  1. For Faceplate pictures, select the location of the picture on the screen, as shown in the icons on the Sizes tab. There is no resizing available for faceplates.

Each picture within a predefined configuration is dependent on the other pictures. If you change the dimensions of one picture, the adjacent pictures automatically change their dimensions to remain adjacent. The configuration as a whole also continues to occupy the entire screen.

For example, the Header picture is adjacent to the Main picture along the top of the Main picture. If you change the height of the Main picture, the bottom border of the Header picture remains adjacent to the top border of the Main picture, and the height of the Header stretches to occupy the space from the top of the screen to the top of the Main picture.
