On this page, admin users can create predefined canvas sizes to be used when creating new Diagrams. This is useful when diagram designers know ahead of time what device a diagram will be displayed on, so they can build it to fit that screen's dimensions exactly.

Prophecy comes preloaded with some common screen sizes used for andons, HMIs, and viewing Dashboards on mobile devices.

Adding a Screen Size

To Add a new Screen Size, click the New button below the Grid.

After clicking the New button, the Add Screen Size window will open, containing these required fields:

• Name: This is what will show in the list of predefined Screen Sizes that diagram designers can choose from when creating a new diagram.
• Width: The width (in pixels) of the display the diagram is being designed for.
• Height: The height (in pixels) of the display the diagram is being designed for.

Note: Calculating the correct dimensions to use for any given display can be fairly complex. Multiple factors can go into determining the values to use here. This page has some good information on what the various measurements you may find for your device, as does this one.

This site can be used to get measurements for a device if you have access to the screen you're building diagrams for. There are also lists of common screen sizes here and here.

Note that where multiple measurements are given, look for 'viewport' when possible. This is generally the most accurate measurement for displaying web content.
