Resizing HMI Elements

Resize an element by selecting it, then:

Dragging the image handles.
Clicking the Fit to Original Size (content) button.
Clicking the Element Sizer, then selecting the desired size.
Selecting more than one element, then make them of uniform size via the Resize buttons.

HMI Element Resizing/Rotating Limitations

Elements 'grow' down, and to the right. If resizing/rotating will cause Variable elements to collide, or any element to extend beyond the boundaries of the Display, the element cannot be returned to its original size, or resized to a larger size.

Note ♦

Fit to Original size functions differently for .bmp and for .wmf.

.bmp: Resizes the image to the actual size of the element as it appears in the element's ToolTip; assuming that this size does not exceed the size of the display screen. If the original image exceeds the display size, the function will fail.
.wmf/.emf: the image will be resized according to the size at which it was first inserted into the HMI application.

♦

'Original size' cannot be used to resize Variable elements if the elements have differing original sizes.

Note ♦	Although an imported image can be resized, resizing may result in some degree of distortion. To avoid this, use images that are created to match the required size.
♦	Resizing text elements changes the size of the text field, but does not affect font size.
♦	Fit to Original Size does not affect geometric shapes that are drawn on the Display.
♦	Shapes that are imported are resized in proportion to their original size.
