Interactive Editing

The preview panel has two main functionalities:

 Preview IS-SPX content and multi media content. The preview panel emulates in software the display capabilities of the IS-SPX Player. Moreover it offers the user the possibility to interactively pause and seek the content using the timeline at the top of the preview panel itself.

 Interactively edit XPress content. XPress content is described with the SVG language (see W3C specification). SVG language follows the XML document structure and thus can be easily edited by hand or with other software applications. To simplify the editing task: XPress offers an intuitive graphical user interface directly through the Preview panel. The user can interact with media elements in the scene by changing their style properties, positions, sizes, rotations, etc... and XPress automatically changes the corresponding SVG document to reflect the changes. This is done in real time, while the XPress content is previewed resulting in an intuitive and powerful SVG editing console.

Interactively Editing SVG Files

Some SVG files have editable properties. This is the case with all the templates (found under My Templates), and new documents created by XPress.

Having editable properties means that the SVG document can be interactively customized using XPress. When opened with XPress, these special SVG files will instruct the GUI to open a property Tab in the editing panel. The property tab includes all the fields that have been defined as interactively editable by the author of the SVG document. These fields may be text, media elements or parameters.
