AMX InspiredSignage XPress Programming Guide
Creating and Editing SVG files
The simplest way to create an SVG document is to right-click the browsing panel and select the action New
SVG file with the desired aspect ratio. XPress creates a new SVG multilayer document new.svg in the current
browsing view with the selected aspect ratio (FIG. 8).
Having installed XPress, you can also benefit from a set of pre-defined SVG documents called templates. You
can find these templates under the collection My Templates in the default Workspace view. Provided templates
include:
Multilayer templates with different aspect ratios
Text templates
Playlists templates
Animated Clocks (analog and digital) templates
Templates for displaying RSS data from a web site
Other templates will be provided in future releases of XPress. For more information, please refer to the
Appendix C - Adding Additional Templates to AMX InspiredSignage XPress section on page 115.
To create a new SVG document based on one of these templates, simply copy (or drag and drop) the one you
have selected from the My Templates collection to your target project.
Editing an existing SVG document
The first step required to edit an SVG document is to open it: either right-click the document and select Open,
or simply double-click the file.
If possible, XPress will start previewing the content of the document in the Preview panel, and the Editing
panel will change according to the content of the document you have open. In fact, XPress can recognize
specific tags and activate appropriate editing interfaces to help the user customize the document without any
knowledge of SVG syntax.
If the document you have opened was not designed to activate special editing interfaces, then the editing panel
will show only the XML Tree and WebDAV tabs. You can still edit the document content using the XML Tree
tab interface, but you need to have an understanding of XML structure and SVG syntax.
If the document you have opened was designed to activate special editing interfaces then an additional
Properties tab will appear. This tab gives access to a number of parameters that can be customized directly
from the Properties tab. Changing these parameters will directly modify the XML Tree structure of the
document, but you do not need to know SVG syntax to do it.
Each template document can expose one or multiple parameters. Parameters can be of the following types:
Value: The user can type some values to modify the layout of the document. Generally those are
durations, sizes or number of items to display.
Text: The user can modify some text shown on the screen. The user can also select the fonts and
size of the text.
Color: The user can chose the color of an element, like the background for instance.
Choice: The user can chose between a set of values for the property.
Edit Media: The user can select a media. The media can be modified by dragging any media from
the browsing panel. Additionally, properties such as duration, number of repetitions of the media,
and URL can be edited by pressing the “...” button at the bottom right of the property.
Edit Text: The user can edit a text box. Additionally the user can add a background or a border.
