As to 16:10 or 16:9... in the UK I have only seen 16:9 except on a SMART white board which originated in the USA (but I haven't been looking really)....were not gonna have another Letter vs A4 are we :-) just kidding! no responses needed .......

This mean you will initially have a lot of blank space on one side or the other. As time permits, then someone can go in and drag the objects around to fill the space, or they will have additional space to use for something else. Neil Martin, P.E.

OK, so here's my problem. Instead of using an aspect ratio that most power users of PCs use (16:10 or 1920x1200), they chose one that people who watch DVDs on their computers use (16:9 or 1920x1080). I know those "full-HD" ones are more popular, and cheaper, but the fact that I can no longer get a laptop with a 1920x1200 resolution drives me up a wall**; that extra vertical screen space is quite helpful in many applications. In addition, the so-called high-performance HMIs tend to use every available pixel on a screen, so the more the better. Now, Foxboro, if you are going to go to the effort of modifying Foxview, please DO IT RIGHT and make it so the viewable area/workspace is configurable (asymmetric auto-scaling does NOT count), rather than being fixed to one or two particular workspace sizes. Maybe that is the plan, but I didn't glean that from the announcement. At least that way we can substitute our own 1920x1200, or 2560x1600, or whatever monitors if the el-cheapo standard 1920x1080s won't do for us. While you're at it, I'd love it if you would do this with the Alarm Managers as well. OK, end of my rant. How do the rest of you guys feel about this? Corey ** Well, not without paying a fortune for a "professional workstation" model. _______________________________________________________________________ This mailing list is neither sponsored nor endorsed by Invensys Process Systems (formerly The Foxboro Company).
