A Page is a Yaml file. It defines is a collection of button definitions that will be installed and used on the deck at a given moment.

Page

A deck displays one Page of buttons and allow end-users to press those buttons to trigger actions. Actions to be performed when a button is manipulated are defined in the button definition, together with the appearance of the button on the deck. Actions are constrained by the type of push button or encoder. A push button cannot be rotated. The appearance of the button is also constrained by the feedback ability of the deck: Image icon, LED, colored LED, or, sometimes, no display at all.

A Page contains the following attributes:

Attribute	Definition
name	Name of the Page. Superceedes the file name. Case sensitive. If no name is given, the name of the page is the page file name (without the .yaml extension.) For a given layout, all pages must have different names, otherwise an error is reported, and the page with the same name is ignored.
buttons	Mandatory. A list of button definitions. Please refer to the Button Section for details about button definitions. If there is no buttons attribute, the page as no button to represent and is ignored.
includes	Includes is a list of other pages to include in this page. Included pages are first merged inside the main page, and then submitted for display and use.
fill-empty-keys	Optional, default to False, whether to fill unused keys with a default button definition as a placeholder. The default value of some attributes (like font, colors, and sizes) is fetched at the Layout level if they are not specified at the Page level.
default-*	Default values to be used at the Page-level for display.

Page Buttons

The buttons attributes contains all button definitions.

Default Page

If no Page is found in the Layout folder, Cockpit deck will create a default page which consists of a logo displayed on the deck (if the deck is capable of displaying images).

The first available button will be programmed to toggle the X-Plane Map On or Off.
