I'm working on a project where I need to dynamically position lines on the screen. I have structures for what these lines represent, and they are in an array. Is there a way to create an array of lines so I can loop through and do something like:

FOR i := 0 TO 10 DO
.....line[i].Position.Points[0].X := bin[0].left;
.....line[i].Position.Points[1].X := bin[0].right;
END_FOR

How and where would I declare such an array? Is there a structure somewhere that represents the positional data of the line?

Thanks!

You can do this using a polyline element in your visualization. Under the "Dynamic Points" properties of the element you specify a pointer to the points array. The structure of the points is VisuElems.VisuStructPoint. Some of your code would look like:

VAR
    aGraphPoints        :    ARRAY[0..99] OF VisuElems.VisuStructPoint;
    iCount      :    INT;
END_VAR
FOR iCount := 0 TO 99 DO
    aGraphPoints[iCount].iX := SOMEVALUE_X[iCount];
    aGraphPoints[iCount].iY := SOMEVALUE_Y[iCount];
END_FOR
