<location> Element (contained by <symbolstyle>)

This element is used to position the HMI symbol instance on the HMI page. If the element is not used, the HMI symbol instance is positioned on the top right next to the HMI page.

Parent element: <symbolstyle>

Attributes:

Attribute Description Type / Required

x Defines the horizontal x-coordinate location of the HMI symbol instance on the HMI page relative to the left edge of the page. (Dot used as separator for decimal values.) Type: string
Required: yes

y Defines the vertical y-coordinate location of the HMI symbol instance on the HMI page relative to the top edge of the page. (Dot used as separator for decimal values.) Type: string
Required: yes

align Defines whether the HMI symbol instances are automatically positioned with a default gap between the symbols on the HMI page. The attribute is used to avoid overlapping of HMI symbol instances on a page which have the same <symbolstyle> assigned. Possible values are 'x' (alignment on the x axis) and 'y' (alignment on the y axis). Type: string
Required: no

margin Defines the gap between HMI symbol instances created on the HMI page when aligning symbols using the align attribute. The value is ignored if no align value is specified. Type: decimal
Required: no

maxcount Defines the maximum number of HMI symbol instances positioned within the HMI page. Each additional symbol is positioned outside the HMI page. Type: integer
Required: no
