SHIP:Node:page

Node Home

A GUI is generally composed of numerous graphically designed layout screens. Touch buttons navigate within an interactive GUI page and also cause screens to change from one to another. Since the word "screen" can easily be confused with the physical glass screen (vs. the GUI pixel content on the screen), SHIP uses the term "page" instead. The page in the GUI contains the visual layout for a specific GUI page. You can, and probably will, have many pages in a given GUI.

The names of the page nodes traditionally start with lower case "p", such as 'pHome, pSettings', etc., but this is not mandated. The name can be set to any valid name, such as homePage, or main for example.
