WinCC Unified Faceplate vs. DynamicSVG

I already created quite a few symbols/popups as faceplates to profit from the inherit behavior. I also created many SVG-Graphics and dynamic SVGs. Still i am unsure when to use a faceplate and when to use a dynamic SVG. I think when we have many interface properties we should use the faceplate - what about animations like object movement..? DynamicSVGs when we want a not pixelated graphic while zooming in? Would it be bad engineering to create all graphics as SVGs just to be safe for the future? Or should i also use PNG/JPG to reduce file size and e.g. loading times.. Thank you in advance for clarification. Best Regards, Timm

The interface allows you to use tags, properties, and events. Inside the faceplate, you can run various events and use scripting. Although dynamic SVG comes with an interface, it only allows you to manipulate the graphic, there is no direction from the graphic to the interface. For graphics I would always use SVG (normal or dynamic once), for photos JPG should be preferred and PNG makes no sense in my opinion as it is good for graphics but needs more memory than SVG. To keep the size of the SVG files as small as possible, I prefer to use SVGOMG. Kind regards Stefan
