The Draw tag widget is used to display a bordered field containing the description of the associated tag on the left, and its value to the right. The description and the border are optional.
If the associated tag type includes an alarm setup then orange dots will appear in the object to indicate that one or both alarms are either not configured or not enabled. For tag types that have both high and low alarms as part of their definition, the upper and lower squares refer to the high and low alarms in that order.
The properties dialog for the Draw widget is as shown:
Font
Select one of the font tags (or parameter linked to a font tag) that you with to use to display the text. The display will use the default system font if you do not select a font tag.
The parameters button is enabled only if the tag is drawn on a page that includes a font parameter, or if the tag is part of a widget and the associated widget editor is open.
Style Settings
Defaults to the System Style tag if no other is selected. This sets the color for the alarm indications. The widget does not use Analog or Digital colors from the style tag.
