How to use pixel control in Q-Play.



Introduction

Pixel control in Q-Play gives you detailed control over each individual pixel, enabling the creation of dynamic and visually impressive content on your information screen. This guide will introduce you to how you can utilize these advanced features to fully realize your creative potential.

DesignTool presentation.

DesignTool in Q-Play is your central tool for creating customized and engaging presentations for information screens. With the option to select "custom" dimensions, DesignTool gives you the freedom to specify exact pixel measurements for your designs, so they fit perfectly with the screen's size and shape. This section will guide you through the process of creating a new presentation from scratch, focusing on customizing the layout to your specific needs.

1. Start by opening Q-Play and navigate to 'DesignTool' to kickstart your design project.


2. Choose "New Presentation" to start the process of creating your presentation.


3. Name the presentation.


4. In the 'Layout' section, select 'Custom' to create a canvas that precisely matches the dimensions you need. This is particularly useful if you are working with information screens of unique sizes or form factors.


5. Specify the desired 'Width' and 'Height' in pixels for your canvas under 'Presentation details'. This ensures that your presentation will be displayed correctly on the information screen.


Pixsel control in apps

With pixel control in apps, Q-Play offers the ability to manipulate app placement and size down to the smallest pixel. This level of detailed control is crucial for achieving visually compelling and accurately customized presentations on information screens. The ability to precisely adjust each element allows you to maximize the use of screen space, ensure visual balance, and maintain aesthetic consistency across your information screen.

1. First, go to 'Apps' in Q-Play and select the app you want to integrate into your design.


2. On the right side of the screen, you'll find 'App Properties', which are the settings for the selected app. Here, click on 'Advanced' to open up more customization options.


3. Enable 'Pixel Editing', which gives you access to specify precise measurements for 'Placement' and 'Size' of the app in pixels. This step replaces the standard percentage-based method with pixel precision, ensuring that the app fits precisely into the desired area on your information screen.
