Metadata

Metadata is a list of names with corresponding values that is attached to an object's animation point. When using any of the DspAnGetMetadata Cicode functions this Metadata is processed, with the field values retrieved, and set at runtime. At runtime Metadata cannot be added or removed.

Metadata can be implemented when configuring the following animation objects-Free Hand Line, Straight Line, Rectangle, Ellipse, Polygon, Pipe, Text, Number, Button, Symbol Set, Trend, Paste Symbol, Active X, Process Analyst, Database Exchange Control, Pelco Camera View Controller, Citect SCADA Web Gate Control.

Note: Metadata can also be assigned to super genie associations. See Passing Animation Point Metadata as Super Genie Associations for more information.
