A visualization element is a graphical element, which is used to fill a visualization object. The available elements are offered in the menu bar. Each element gets a separate configuration.

You can insert various geometric forms, as well as bitmaps, metafiles, buttons, various special elements and existing visualizations into your visualization. Regard the possibility of defining a special directory for visualization files in the Options for directories⮫ “Options for directories”.

Go to the 'Insert' menu item and select freely from the following commands: 'Rectangle', 'Rounded Rectangle', 'Ellipse', 'Polygon', 'Polyline', 'Curve', 'Pie', 'Bitmap', 'Visualization', 'Button', 'Table', 'ActiveX-Element', 'Scrollbar', 'Meter', 'Bar Display', 'Histogram', 'Alarm table', 'Trend', 'WMF file'.

If you want to create a polygon or a line, first click with the mouse on the position of the first corner of the polygon resp. on the starting point of the line, and then click on the further desired corner points.
