The Panel Display is one of five components that can only be placed through circuit boards. The Panel Display is generally used analogously to the Display component, but due to the fact its input peg is on the other side of a circuit board, it is often used to hide internal wiring in displays.
The Panel Display is about tiles long, 1 tile in width, and 1 tile in height (65cm by 30cm by 30cm, see measurements).
Behaviour
When a Panel Display is configured to have a single input, the color of its display is blank when its input is off, and colored when its input is on.
When a Panel Display is configured to have multiple inputs, the color of its display is blank when all inputs are off, and a color determined by its palette when any of its inputs are on. The inputs are read as a binary number, where the shortest input peg is the least significant bit, and the longest input peg is the most significant, this number then corresponds to the index in its specified color palette.
Timing
The Panel Display changes color on the same frame the input (or inputs) change state.
Configurability
The Panel Display can be configured in two ways:
- Its amount of input pegs can be changed via a 'Input Count' slider, which ranges from 1 to 3 at its default size, and a maximum of 9 if resized. The default amount of input pegs is 1.
- Its color palette can be specified from the list of palettes in that world. Note that you can add or change palettes by clicking the 'Edit Configurations' button.
Resizability
The Panel Display can be resized from a default 1 by 1 size, to 12 by 12.
If the Panel Display is at least 2 by 2 in size, its input pegs can be increased from a maximum of 3 to a maximum of 9.
Trivia
Unlike its counterpart, the Display, the Panel Display can have up to 9 input pegs when resized from its default size, whereas the Display can only have up to 4 input pegs.
