<h1>JMRI: Advanced Icons in PanelPro</h1><a name="memoryicon"
id="memoryicon"></a>
<h3>Memory Icons</h3>Memory objects are meant for scripting
control; the first implementation is a MemoryIcon that lets
you put a multi-state icon on the screen.
<p>MemoryIcon objects work two ways: If a series of icons is
defined in the file, the memory contents will be translated
via this table (this was the original behavior). If there
aren't any icons defined, the memory contents is displayed
directly, as a string if it's a String and as a NamedIcon if
it's a NamedIcon.</p>
<p>See xml/samples/MemoryIconExample.xml for info on how to
set this up. <a name="reportericon" id=
"reportericon"></a></p>
<h3>Reporter Icons</h3><a href=
"../../tools/images/AddReportertoPanel.png"><img src=
"../../tools/images/AddReportertoPanel.png" height="146"
width="166" align="right"></a> The first implementation of
Reporter is Digitrax transponding. By adding the appropriate
elements to your Panel files, you can show decoder ID
information on your Panels.
<!-- information below was copied from tools/Reporters.shtml 01/2016 -->
<p>A Reporter's value can be displayed on a Panel via an
icon. To do this:</p>
<ul>
<li>On the Panel Editor window for your Panel, find the
"Add Reporter" button.</li>
<li>In the text box next to that button, type the user name
or System Name of the desired Reporter.</li>
<li>Click the "Add to Panel" button. The Reporter icon will
be placed on your Panel. If it's not visible, that might be
because the value is currently blank; use the Reporter
Table to change the value to something that will be
visible.</li>
<li>You can drag the icon to where you want it in the usual
way.</li>
<li>The pop-up menu on the icon will let you change the
formatting.</li>
</ul>
<p>See xml/samples/ReporterIconExample.xml for info on how to
set this code up by hand.</p>
<ul>
<li>First check that JMRI is seeing the LocoNet messages
OK. From the tools menu, open the "Reporter Table". Run a
locomotive across your transponding sections, and you
should see the arrival and departure status show up on one
of the lines in the table.</li>
<li>Next, you need to add the "ReporterIcon" that displays
this directly to the panel file.
<p>Look in the "xml/samples" directory within JMRI for a
file called "ReporterIconExample.xml".</p>
<p>(It's also available <a href=
"http://jmri.org/xml/samples/ReporterIconExample.xml">on
the web</a> but many browsers will try to interpret it
instead of showing you the text; your browser's "View
Source" option might help with that)</p>
<p>You'll see this line:</p>
<p><reportericon reporter="LR12" x="10" y="10"
class="jmri.jmrit.display.configurexml.ReporterIconXml"/></p>
<p>The "x" and "y" define where you want it on your
panel. The "LR12" is the name of the reporter object,
e.g. the name of the one you saw changing when you were
looking at the table.</p>
</li>
<li>Open your panel file with your favorite editor (WordPad
if you've got nothing you like better), and insert a line
like that above right _after_ the line that starts with
<p><paneleditor
class="jmri.jmrit.display.configurexml.PanelEditorXml"</p>
<p>(The "paneleditor" line starts a new panel. If you
have more than one panel in the file, you'll have to look
for the panel title to see where to insert the new
line)</p>
</li>
</ul>It's actually not as hard as it sounds.
