The Objects Display Mode settings determine how the object is drawn on the screen.

An object can be either displayed as "Opaque" or "Transparent".

Opaque means that the object will overlay the background and cover the background with its background colour. In this case, both the objects' foreground colour and background colour are used to draw the object. Thus the background is hidden behind an opaque object.

Transparent means that the object overlays the background, but the background is left intact. In this case only the objects foreground colour is used   

Display Mode Settings

• Opaque
  Will draw the object with the Objects foreground & background colour.
  

• Transparent
  Will draw the object with the Objects foreground colour only, leaving the background image partially visible.
  

• Paint Inside Border
  With opaque, fill the entire object with the background colour (use with Opaque for display of flashing objects / alarms).
  

• Border
  Draw a black rectangle around the objects border.
  

• Ellipse
  Draw the object as an ellipse, or circle depending on the size of the object.
  

• No Clip
  Draw the object without clipping it (will result in faster displays).

Flash on Alarm Objects should all be set to Opaque and Paint Inside Border.

Notes:  If all analogue, digital and Bar Graphs are drawn on the screen with the "Opaque" option this will result in flicker-free displays and also much faster update times.
