What are the 3 states of Visibility in EcoStruxure Operator Terminal Expert and how do I use the "Collapsed" state of Visibility?

Environment

EcoStruxure Operator Terminal Expert (formerly Vijeo XD) - HMI Configuration Software in Windows

Resolution

The Visibility Animation uses 3 states of an Integer Variable to control the visibility of an object.

When the value is:

0 - the object is Visible

1 - the object is Hidden

2 - the object is Collapsed

In Content Screens of types "Uniform Grid", "Stack Panel" or "Dock Panel", objects can be placed adjacent to each other (stacked, or horizontally like a bookshelf). And when an object's Visibility in the middle is set to "Collapsed", it will disappear and be replaced by the multiple adjacent objects.

Please see the attached sample project and screenshots for a Stacked Panel example (it is zipped in Visibility Sample.zip")
The project name is "Visibility Sample.vxdz".

The project was created in Vijeo XD v3.0.20. You can open the .vxdz project in any version of EcoStruxure Operator Terminal Expert - you will be prompted to upgrade the project.

Steps used to create this project (see numbered screenshots):

1) Create a Content page

2) Select the Container Type as Stacked Panel

3) Create objects in the Stacked Panel Content Page (colored rectangles in this example)

4) Assign an INT variable to each Rectangle object's Visibility Animation - See Variables.PNG

5) Add buttons to control the state of the integers (set to 0, 1, 2 for each INT Variable)

See the 5 Results screenshots for different example states of the stacked rectangles and their corresponding INT values.
