Abstract:
Very often information exists that would be helpful for process control operators if it could be presented in the context they work in - the process graphics. Examples are instructional material, visualizations of automated sequences, output from knowledge-based systems or simply annotations that one team of operators wants to communicate with another. Several existing distortion techniques were reviewed that would allow the ordinary process graphics to take less space leaving room for additional information. However, these techniques were rejected, mainly because all parts of a process control screen need to be readable at all times. A new technique is proposed and its readability experimentally evaluated with promising results.Document Type: Research article
