AMX InspiredSignage XPress Programming Guide
Interactive editing
The preview panel has two main functionalities:
Preview IS-SPX content and multi media content. The preview panel emulates in software the display
capabilities of the IS-SPX-1000 player. Moreover it offers the user the possibility to interactively pause and
seek the content using the timeline at the top of the preview panel itself.
Interactively edit XPress content. XPress content is described with the SVG language (see W3C
specification). SVG language follows the XML document structure and thus can be easily edited by hand or
with other software applications. To simplify the editing task: XPress offers an intuitive graphical user
interface directly through the Preview panel. The user can interact with media elements in the scene by
changing their style properties, positions, sizes, rotations, etc... and XPress automatically changes the
corresponding SVG document to reflect the changes. This is done in real time, while the XPress content is
previewed resulting in an intuitive and powerful SVG editing console.
Interactively editing SVG files.
Some SVG files have editable properties. This is the case with all the templates (found under My Templates),
and new documents created by XPress.
Having editable properties means that the SVG document can be interactively customized using XPress. When
opened with XPress, these special SVG files will instruct the GUI to open a property Tab in the editing panel.
The property tab includes all the fields that have been defined as interactively editable by the author of the
SVG document. These fields may be text, media elements or parameters.
Editing Media elements layout
Media elements can be declared as transformable in SVG templates. If a media is transformable, then its
layout can be edited directly in the preview area. Such elements appear in the preview panel highlighted by a
black and yellow border. Simply move your mouse cursor on a media element to check if it can be
transformed.
When you select a media element by clicking it, four arrows appear on the corners of the selected media. You
may now do the following interactive operations on this media directly with your mouse:
Move: Click on the element to move it using the mouse.
Zoom: Click on one of the arrows to modify the dimension of the element using the mouse.
Resize: Click on one of the arrows and press CTRL to change the size of the element.
Rotate: Click once on the element, the arrows will be modified. Click on the arrow on the corner
to rotate the element
Skew: Click once on the element, the arrows will be modified. Click on the top, or side arrows to
skew the element
The difference between the zoom and the resize action depends on the elements.
