Push Buttons

All push buttons contain embedded Javascript with parameters that must be edited using the XML editor in Inkscape. Illuminated push buttons are also output devices which are controlled via the SVG "id" property.

	Type	Name	Label text?	Embedded Javascript?	Address with ID?	Description
	SVG menu push button.	pb_menu_<colour>	Yes	Yes	No	Push button for selecting SVG layers.

Momentary Action Push Buttons

A momentary push button writes a value to the server whenever it is activated. It writes a different value when it is deactivated, or when the mouse cursor is moved away from the button (this prevents the operator from "locking" the button down by sliding the mouse away while depressed).

	Type	Name	Label text?	Embedded Javascript?	Address with ID?	Description
	Momentary push button.	pb_oblong_moment_<colour>	Yes	Yes	No	Oblong momentary action push button.
	Momentary push button.	pb_rectangular_moment_<colour>	Yes	Yes	No	Rectangular momentary action push button.
	Momentary push button.	pb_square_moment_<colour>	Yes	Yes	No	Square momentary action push button.

Toggle Push Buttons

A toggle action push button writes to the server the opposite boolean state of the value in a reference tag.

	Type	Name	Label text?	Embedded Javascript?	Address with ID?	Description
	Toggle push button.	pb_oblong_toggle_<colour>	Yes	Yes	No	Oblong toggle action push button.
	Toggle push button.	pb_rectangular_toggle_<colour>	Yes	Yes	No	Rectangular toggle action push button.
	Toggle push button.	pb_square_toggle_<colour>	Yes	Yes	No	Square toggle action push button.

Single Action Push Buttons

A single action push button writes a value to the server when activated, but unlike a momentary action push button does nothing when released.

	Type	Name	Label text?	Embedded Javascript?	Address with ID?	Description
	Single action push button.	pb_oblong_single_<colour>	Yes	Yes	No	Oblong single action push button.
	Single action push button.	pb_rectangular_single_<colour>	Yes	Yes	No	Rectangular single action push button.
	Single action push button.	pb_square_single_<colour>	Yes	Yes	No	Square single action push button.

Increment and Decrement Push Buttons

An increment or decrement push button reads a reference tag, adds a specified amount to the value, and then writes the result to the same or a different tag on the server. Whether an increment or decrement operation takes place is determined by the sign of the increment amount specified as a parameter.

	Type	Name	Label text?	Embedded Javascript?	Address with ID?	Description
	Decrement push button.	pb_tridown_<colour>	No	Yes	No	Triangular numeric decrement push button.
	Decrement push button.	pb_oblong_dec_<colour>	Yes	Yes	No	Oblong numeric decrement push button.
	Decrement push button.	pb_rectangular_dec_<colour>	Yes	Yes	No	Rectangular numeric decrement push button.
	Decrement push button.	pb_square_dec_<colour>	Yes	Yes	No	Square numeric decrement push button.
	Increment push button.	pb_triup_<colour>	No	Yes	No	Triangular numeric increment push button.
	Increment push button.	pb_oblong_inc_<colour>	Yes	Yes	No	Oblong numeric increment push button.
	Increment push button.	pb_rectangular_inc_<colour>	Yes	Yes	No	Rectangular numeric increment push button.
	Increment push button.	pb_square_inc_<colour>	Yes	Yes	No	Square numeric increment push button.

Illuminated Push Buttons

Illuminated push buttons combine the characteristics of a push button and a pilot light. Each of the push buttons described above has an illuminated equivalent. They have both embedded Javascript and SVG "id" properties.

The buttons are listed here briefly.

Type	Names
SVG menu	pb_menu_none
Momentary	pb_oblong_moment_none, pb_rectangular_moment_none, pb_square_moment_none
Single	pb_oblong_single_none, pb_rectangular_single_none, pb_square_single_none
Toggle	pb_oblong_toggle_none, pb_rectangular_toggle_none, pb_square_toggle_none
Increment/decrement	pb_tridown_none, pb_triup_none
Selector switch labels	ss2_label_none, ss3_label_none
