Product images

Visual model images must be specified in .bmp format. They may be captured from digital photos or scans but they must be converted before use.

Button actions and images

Button images for use in the on and off stage can be created from one image. The normal, rest, state would usually be represented by the original image and active state (eg when a button is pressed) can be created by simply changing the image colour to shade of the original using a drawing package

Plugs and other dual state items

Plugs etc can be represented as buttons or switches as they have two states (eg on/off). The normal rest stage for a plug would show the socket and the active state the plug.

Compiler
