Layer Editor

Display → Layer Editor

Layers are self-contained gauge layouts that can be embedded in a screen via the Layer Group Gauge. Each layer is an independent set of gauges rendered to an off-screen texture.

Working with Layers

• Add Layer — create a new layer definition.
• Duplicate Layer — copy an existing layer as a starting point.
• Export / Import — save layers as .edlayer files.

Layers are edited the same way as screens — add gauges, position them, and configure properties. The layer dimensions define the render area.

Using Layers on a Screen

1. Create one or more layers in the Layer Editor.
2. In the Screen Editor, add a Layer Group Gauge.
3. Assign which layers the group can display.
4. Configure events for Next Layer, Previous Layer, and direct Show events per layer.

Layer switching is event-driven, making layers suitable for multi-page dashboards, context-sensitive views, and menu systems.
