SVG Symbol Overview​

In the realm of industrial process visualization, the ability to represent data in a clear and customizable manner is paramount. The legacy graphics libraries offered by PI Vision has limited flexibility, leaving engineers and operators constrained in their ability to convey complex information effectively. Enter the Mainely Innovations SVG symbol – a custom PI Vision symbol that enhances the way data is visualized, offering added flexibility and multi-state functionality.

SVG Symbol Multi-State

Understanding SVG​

SVG, or Scalable Vector Graphics, is an XML-based markup language for describing two-dimensional vector graphics. It's commonly used for creating interactive and dynamic graphics on the web. With the SVG symbol in PI Vision, users can harness the power of SVG to create highly customizable and dynamic visualizations tailored to their specific needs.

Multi-State Functionality​

One of the key features of the SVG symbol is its support for multi-state functionality. This means that the contents of the SVG vector can dynamically change based on the current multi-state configuration. Whether it's indicating equipment status, process conditions, or any other parameter, the SVG symbol adapts seamlessly to reflect the underlying data, providing real-time insights at a glance.

The vectors presented as part of this library are geared specifically to handle multi-state status changes to provide a richer visualization experience.

Flexibility at Its Core​

Unlike the built-in graphics library, which has limitations on providing multi-state for common equipment, the SVG symbol offers unparalleled flexibility. Users have complete control over the appearance of the SVG content, from its color to its rotation angle to adding labels. Whether it's aligning with corporate branding guidelines or enhancing readability in different lighting conditions, the SVG symbol empowers users to create visualizations that are both informative and visually appealing.
