Execution Control

This widget allows you to control the execution of your application, i.e., to start and stop the execution of your MERLIC Vision App. By default also the "Run Once" button for single execution steps is enabled. If you only want to provide the continuous execution of the application, you can adjust the settings at the property "Display Run Once".

Style

X, Y:

Adjust the position of the widget by typing the desired coordinate values of the upper left corner into the input field.

Z-Order:

Adjust the z-order of the widget by typing the desired value into the input field. This defines which widget is displayed on top if several widgets are positioned at the same place, for example, if widget "A" has "Z-Order" "0" and widget "B" has "Z-Order" "1", widget "B" will be displayed on top of widget "A".

Width:

Adjust the width of the widget. The width is defined in pixels and set to 180 by default. To change the value, type the new width into the input field. The width must be at least 50 if the "Run Once" button is also displayed. If the "Run Once" button has been deactivated, the minimal width is 20.

Height:

Adjust the height of the widget. The height is defined in pixels and set to 80 by default. To change the value, type the new height into the input field. The value must be at least 20.

Arrangement:

Choose between a vertical and horizontal arrangement of the widget buttons. By default the buttons of the execution control are arranged horizontally. To change the alignment to a vertical arrangement, select "vertical" from the drop-down menu.

Display Run Once:

Define if the "Run Once" button for the execution in single steps is displayed in the Frontend. By default the "Run Once" button is displayed. Thus, the application can be executed continuously and in single steps. If you do not want to enable the execution in single steps, select "false" from the drop-down menu. Then, only the button for the continuous run will be available in the Frontend.

Background Color:

Use this property to adjust the color of the buttons. To change the color, click into the color field and select a new color in the color selection dialog or enter the color code manually.
