I have only ever done projects with vision. I code more than using the wizards. What limitations I be aware of? I have a customer that is interested in mobile aspects - so it will be a perspective project… pro’s and con’s anybody?

[image] Cody Mallonee: Many users (fairly) find that Perspective has not caught up to Vision in terms of functionality and reliability. This is primarily because Vision has nearly two decades of features and bug-fixes, whereas Perspective is only three years old. Vision has created some big s…

Also, I saw some note of performance with complex Views, but since the OP specifically brought up Mobile I’m going to point something out. Please understand that I am fully aware Perspective has some performance issues and I’m not trying to diminish them here. When developing for mobile specificall…

Great points by everyone above. I’ll add a bonus to Perspective is you can open it as a web page on nearly any device (phone/tablet/laptop/desktop) without installing anything on the device. For certain applications, this is a big plus.

[image] nminchin: Views can be 5-10s every time (no caching) Why isn't some form of caching possible? I'm talking from a place of ignorance, but would it be possible to 'bake' the screens for the current viewport dimensions and retrieve it if requested later? Or even have some way for ignitio…

Caching is problematic for a couple of reasons: A perspective Page is typically driven by data, from appearances to configuration. If we DID cache the Page, it would load in the previous state, instead of being driven by current values, then it would still need to swap values as it gets them. Inst…

[image] brandon1: Using an outside program like Inkscape is clunky I would strongly disagree that using Inkscape is clunky. SCADA applications aren't typically tools for drawing more complicated graphics than your basic shapes. There are applications solely developed for this purpose (Inkscap…

[image] nminchin: SCADA drawing is clunky Point taken. Let me clarify by saying that for my purposes simple shapes are fine. Rectangle + Circle = Pump So I would rather have all the tools be native than use an external tool. Your milage may vary.

I’m part of the crazy group…I actually prefer drawing complex components in Vision :sweat_smile:

You know, there are meds for that! :grin:

I sometimes feel that perspective could have been kept more light weight by simply using bootstrap for responsive mobile/desktop friendly screens rather than using a full fledged client framework like REACT or any other for that matter. I believe these frameworks are meant for for highly interactive…
