Fig. 5 shows that expression includes the example man-machine interface animated graphics element of the groove 500 of measured quantity of material 504. In this example embodiment, the animated graphics of groove 500 are configured to show the amount of substance being included in groove.Groove 500 wraps Include groove body 502 and material 504.Note that a certain amount of material 504 is represented by the step shade of the inside of groove body 502.Originally showing In example embodiment, groove body 502 is static graphics element and material 504 is motion graphics element.
Under normal circumstances, the motion graphics of like device represent the amount of material using the change in elevation of rectangle, equivalent to Bar chart.But in this example, the shape of groove body 502 is not rectangle but including conical lower portion.Therefore, in groove body 502 A certain amount of material 504 cannot be represented with the rectangle of change in elevation.Note that in this example, the vertical size of material 504 with It is included in the amount of the material in groove 500(Or volume)It is associated.
Fig. 6 shows the example man-machine interface animated graphics element for representing the groove for including measured quantity of material from Fig. 5 Each layer and component.In this example, the animated graphics element of groove of the expression from Fig. 5 is implemented using two components:It is dynamic State graphic element 504 and static graphics element 502, each of wherein have shown shape.
The method that Fig. 7 shows the variable quantity for indicating the material in the groove from Fig. 5.In this example, groove body 502 Interior material 504 gradually decreases.The motion graphics element representation material shown in display 700 is in than the water described in Fig. 5 At flat low level, and show that 702 show material in still relatively low level.Note that this for motion graphics element A little modifications are carried out by simply modifying to the vertical size of the gradient halt in motion graphics element.
Note that in display 702, the amount of material gradually decreases to the rake that the material is entirely included groove body 502 Point in point.Represented in the shadow region that the amount of this material is due to feature bottom.This is by dynamically movement dynamically Gradient halt in vertical size in component is realized.By mobile gradient halt, can exist in a straightforward manner Irregular shape is shown at different fill levels.
This technology enables man-machine interface by minimizing effectively to be shown using memory and processor circulation Different amounts of material in the container brokenly shaped.The fill level data received from container can be changed easily Into gradient halt, it is then possible to illustrate brokenly using to the available gradient stuffing function of most of graphics processors Fill level in the container of shaping.
Discussed below be by the premise of not sacrificing performance maintain all risk insurance it is genuine in a manner of come arrange " static state " to " move The addition method of state " figure.Consider that there are direct relation and workinprocess cost and profit between performance and product cost Ability(From raising profit or for the demand of growth for reducing cost ability)Between there are direct relation --- it is all so The method of class is extremely valuable.
1)By graphic designer(It is high as much as possible upwards along chain)To utilize the control correctly connected with line by designer The mode of system data processed carries out the horizontal filling animation using gradient halt of irregular object.
Traditionally, designer changes height or width to provide horizontal change(Or progress bar change)Influence.But should Method is only applied to rectangle.When applied to the object irregularly shaped being positioned on the receiving figure irregularly shaped, only It can make the object avalanche of top and not stay in the range of container.In addition, if using gradient, then diffusion can also collapse Collapse, and the attribute of the optics luminous effect at liquid top cannot be simulated.
Other designers use vector mask and raising or the height for reducing vector mask.But come from aspect of performance Will, shielding is expensive operation.Furthermore, it is necessary to two independent path objects(One is used for original-shape, and one is used to shield Cover --- which increase render performance and storage and the storage of object itself needed for operational shape).In addition, if use ladder Degree, then diffusion " being cut " falls, and is left the undesirable and unlifelike view result on liquid.
Except these traditional methods, top fill level gradient halt(It is impermeable to all colours on fill level A bright point and for the fully transparent point of sample color)With generated together with non-constant width diffusion content meet it is above-mentioned The edge true to nature in space(That is, the optical characteristics of water ingress of air is remained).Present method solves arrange in the above-described conventional approaches All 5 problem gone out, while achieve performance and the benefit of graphical appearance.
2)Static graphics on motion graphics are layered and are represented with the figure for showing machine object(Instruction state-lamp ON/OFF, represents different colours of different conditions etc.)On color change.Traditionally, compound path is dynamic.But draw Compound path(It is based especially on the thing of the vector sum picture circle of text etc.)Efficiency is very low.
Other designer's show or hide still images are to provide the explanation of color change.However, it is desirable to create substantial amounts of Static object and independently rendered based on desired number of colors.In addition, color cannot be dynamic.Therefore, Each shape needs the single image statically created for each color and is loaded into figure people before the use In machine interface system.
Except these traditional methods, designer, which " can detach ", to be looked like dynamic shape and causes it as disk Revolve or swim in can be coloration simple dynamic rectangular above excessive static image.Rectangle is easy to dynamically change.It is quiet The α passages of the mask of state object(Transparent channel)It can cause the color for showing the color background color simply drawn.The result is that Performance is dynamically improved, while maintains fabulous appearance.Only latent defect for the first conventional method is:It is static The Actual path of shape is not dynamic, and path includes control without the object changed and equips(Through color text or symbol All LED of display(Light emitting diode))Change the static tay of color with its text(As the vacancy of hotel's vacancy/not marks), So that this novel method is valuable for rendering the static text in non-changing background.
3)Simplify the compound path of teaching sorfwares:When comparing old master Austria more(Adobe Illustrator)Upper drafting It is the object of its own per paths during object, therefore connects with line that each color object is dull and this is needed More performance loads are wanted individually to manage these additional objects.
Alternatively, designer can be by all different combination of shapes a to compound path, this allows to will be all These paths are dynamically controlled as single pahtfinder hard rather than many different shapes.Improving property of this method And design time can be reduced and reduce the risk of wiring error.
4)Diagnosis figure for the interaction of direct equipment:Traditionally, designer or computer programmer need to create control Logix in device processed is connected with proxy data to check controller diagnostic message on man-machine interface screen.
Alternatively, designer carrys out built in advance figure using following embedded behavior:The insertion behavior can be without user's line Directly communicate with control system data in the case of tie point.If finding automatically unavailable, designer can be simple The pictorial element of built in advance is added to their display screen to locking equipment being directed in control system by ground, and by the figure It is directed toward the equipment illustrated with data path.Then, when deployed, graphic element has approx indication diagnosis information in inside And influence all the elements needed for the equipment.Secondly, it is also right in order to enable not disturbing the situation of runtime to work Data are compared to minimize the quantity separately being requested, while also limit refresh rate to cause it enough slowly with not in control system Problem is introduced in system.
Foregoing description and associated figure have taught the optimal mode of the present invention.Appended claims specify the present invention Scope.Note that some aspects of this optimal mode may not be fallen within the scope specified by claim of the present invention.This Field technology personnel should be appreciated that the multiple change programmes that can combine features described above in a variety of ways to form the present invention.Cause This, the invention is not restricted to above-mentioned specific embodiment, and is only limited by appended claims and their equivalent.
