It should be noted that, the technical solution provided in this embodiment is suitable for a scenario in which the element style map source is user-defined and set based on HMI (Human Machine Interface) configuration software.

It should be noted that the configuration software is dedicated software for data collection and process control, and is capable of implementing monitoring and control of automated processes and equipment. The components are small machines, components of the apparatus, themselves often consist of several parts, which can be used in common in the same type of product. The image source is a place where images with various specifications are generated by using tools such as hands or computers, and is an "origin place" of the images. The image source generates images by various tools and then gathers the images into an image library to be applied to various industries.

It should be noted that, the element style design drawing is drawn by the user himself, and only two different colors are available, respectively: ground color and component external profile color. Wherein, the ground color can be white, the external contour color of the element can be black or dark gray, etc. It should be noted that the base color and the element outer profile color should be two colors with a significant difference. In addition, the external contour in the element pattern design is also guaranteed to be a closed pattern. The format of the design drawing is the. Jpg or. Png format.

In the technical scheme of the embodiment, the generated element patterns are automatically generated in the software according to the pattern attribute set by the user by extracting the external outline from the graph designed by the user, the element patterns are completely determined by the user, the requirements of the user on the attractiveness of the element patterns are met, meanwhile, the software does not need to set a large number of reserved pattern libraries, a large amount of computer storage space is saved, the user experience is good, and the satisfaction is high.

In specific practice, before the obtaining the element attribute set by the user, the method further includes:

It should be noted that, in the configuration software, the preview of the element style is automatically generated according to the external contour of the element, and because the preview may be different from the design drawing actually imported by the user, the user is required to complement or adjust, if the effect of the user on the preview is not satisfied, the preview may be modified multiple times until the configuration software detects the trigger information of clicking the confirm button by the user, and then the configuration software obtains the attribute of the element style set by the user and combines the external contour of the element generated when clicking the confirm button by the user to generate the element style. According to the technical scheme, the user can modify the preview image for multiple times until the user is satisfied, so that the generated element style is more in line with the requirements of the user, multiple times of modification of the design image are not needed, convenience and rapidness are achieved, and the experience is good.

It should be noted that, after the design drawing is imported into the configuration software, the configuration software traverses all the pixels of the design drawing. In general, the area of the ground color is larger than the area of the external contour color of the element, that is, the corresponding pixel points of the ground color are more than the corresponding pixel points of the contour color. Through the traversal of all the pixel points, the ground color area and the external contour color area of the element can be separated into two sets, and meanwhile, the image coordinates of the pixel points in the design drawing are recorded. After traversing the whole design drawing, taking the pixel point set with less set pixels as a contour pixel point set.
