Issue
Is it possible to create a TGML slideshow in TAC Vista Workstation?
Environment
TAC Vista 5.1.7
Cause
Some customer would like to have a dashboard that cycles through different TGML graphics - perhaps on a large flat-screen TV.
Resolution
Whilst we don't have this functionality built in to workstation, it is possible to utilise layers in TGML editor to create the effect of a slide show.
When creating complex graphics, it can be a challenge to keep track of all the graphic figures in the work area. Graphic figures get hidden under one another and selecting becomes difficult. Layers provide a way to manage the graphic figures that make up your graphic. Layers can be regarded as folders that contain graphic figures.
Layers are not supported in static TGML viewer in TAC Vista Webstation or in the TGML Viewer in TAC Xenta 500/700 Series.
