SVG or Overlapping Views?

As the integrator it is acceptable (with tact of course) to show why something is wrong or not best practice. Show them ISA standards/HMI Performance which details the use of color and where it's appropriate.

I agree. I will do that once I complete the actual task that I started this thread for. Changing the background color is easily done. I have much bigger issues to address at the moment sir.

You have been of major assistance sir. Could I bother you to post-embed the actual SVG code like you did the first time so I can save it as an SVG? Also, is there a tip jar-donate on this forum? Gladly send you $ for your time and effort.

I actually don’t have the SVG code, long story short, I wrote the SVG from scratch in Designer.
If you want to modify it, I challenge you to try modifying it from within designer, we can help if needed, but it will teach you SVG structure.

As far as donating, the best donation here is to come back and answer other people’s posts that you personally know an answer to. There are many different skill levels on here and many different time zones, so it will always be helpful. The best part of the Ignition product is the active community, without it, it will die like many products before it.

The open forum is a huge one here, as well as the forum software chosen (Discourse). Without both of these, the thriving community would be significantly stifled, much like most of the other scada platform forums that lock down their forums or make them ridiculously hard to find. Or their forum software is just ridiculously bad that noone wants to use it (looking at you, big red 2 letters with a R and an A). Imagine the only email subscription option to receive forum updates also includes updates for 30 other completely irrelevant applications as well with no way to exclude them, so the replies you care about just get lost.. And there being no fast access on the website to see who has replied to your posts (in fact I don't think there is a way at all)... You just throw the towel in and give up on it

Damn, I thought I made it cryptic enough to hide Rick's Automotive :person_shrugging: his forum really needs some work

Hi David, will do. Once I'm good enough. Yes everyone on here is VERY helpful. Since you literally did all the work for me I wanted to compensate you. I didn't expect all that. Greatly appreciated.

The reason I asked for the SVG is because I already have the rest of the view built and already have a flex container positioned properly to hold the SVG from another member on this thread so I could easily just drop in the SVG and work on the transform. I'll work with what I have. Thank you sir.

I uploaded the entire view with svg included, import that and copy out the asset into your view?

You've done plenty. I'll figure out the rest sir. Thank you.
