For those of us engineering types, that don't have an eye for color and art, developing graphics for a control system can be one of the most frustrating parts of the process.
Make no mistake, even though the graphics don't have a significant impact on how the system functions, they are what the end user sees every day. Often a control system is judged by the graphics alone. Even if the air handler is grossly innefficient, it will still impress an end user if it looks good.
Here are some resources that I have come across in my search for tools to make graphics easier:
