Screen Resolution

The page templates that are delivered with Citect SCADA are grouped according to "styles" (see page templates). Within each style, the templates are available in a variety of resolutions to support a range of possible screen sizes on a client computer.

Screen Resolutions Supported by Each Template Style.

Style	Available Resolutions
bottom	VGA (640x480, 4:3) SVGA (800x600, 4:3) XGA (1024x768, 4:3)
standard	VGA (640x480, 4:3) SVGA (800x600, 4:3) XGA (1024x768, 4:3) SXGA (1280x1024; 5:4)
sxw_style_1	HD768 (1366x768, 16:9) HD1080 (1920x1080, 16:9)
tab_style_1	SXGA (1280x1024; 5:4) HD768 (1366x768, 16:9) HD1080 (1920x1080, 16:9) WUXGA (1920x1200, 16:10)
top	VGA (640x480, 4:3) SVGA (800x600, 4:3) XGA (1024x768, 4:3)

When you create a graphics page, you should consider the screen resolution of the client computer that will display the page at runtime. While you are able adjust the size of the runtime window (see Sizing The Runtime Window), choosing a template in the correct resolution will make a page the appropriate size for full screen operation. It will also avoid the need for scroll bars (due to a page being too large).

If required, you may also need to consider the impact of running your project on multiple monitors (see Working with Multiple Monitors).

Note: The legacy standard templates styles (standard, bottom and top) come in "no title bar" variations. These are provided to support projects that will run in fullscreen mode with no title bar (where the citect.ini parameter [Animator]FullScreen is set to 1). The sxw_style_1 and tab_style_1 templates are designed to always include a title bar. If you use these templates, you can restrict usage of the standard title bar buttons with Cicode (see Secure the Window Title Bar).

If you need to adjust the screen resolution for a page (for example, if you are creating a popup page or your own template set from a blank template), you can change the screen resolution for a page at any time by adjusting the Resolution property (see Edit the Properties for a Page).
