Structure of a visualisation
A project is structured hierarchically at »EASY UI Designer«. The AppShell forms the outer framework. It contains views and pages, which in turn contain containers and controls.
|
The AppShell.html file defines the main view of the visualisation. It contains the basic layout of the visualisation, which consists of at least one menu and the AppPageNavigator. |
|
|
A page is a page that shows the actual content of the visualisation. An example is a diagnostics page for the machine (DiagnosticsPage.html). |
|
|
A view is a specific view that can be used multiple times in the visualisation. |
|
|
A region is a placeholder for a view. There can be several regions on a page. In the FixLayout templates, a region is used for the header, for example. |
|
|
Containers are control elements that can hold other control elements. There are containers for the layout and navigation. |
|
|
Dialogues are pop-up windows that appear on the screen and require user interaction. |
|
|
A control element is normally the smallest graphic unit, such as a button, a value/text input or output, a list or a graphic. |
