Display Meter
This allows you to create a meter display in one of several formats.
Attributes
A meter has a number of attributes all of which are required.
- Variable Name - This is the name of the Cyflex variable who's
value this meter should display.
- Display Label - The default is to display the name of the Cyflex
variable under the meter. This attribute allows a different string
to be displayed.
- Style - These are the different build-in formats available for
display.
- Gauge - This is a standard circular gauge with a pointer
pointing to values around the circumfrence.
- Knob - This is like a gauge but appears more like a
knob.
- Vertical Bar - This is a vertical bar like a
thermometer.
- Horizontal Bar - This is a horizontal bar like a progress
bar.
- Minimum Value - This is the minimum value displayed by the meter.
The pointer for this meter will not go below this value even if the
variable represented has smaller values.
- Maximum Value - This is the maximum value displayed by the meter.
The pointer for this meter will not go above this value even if the
variable represented has larger values.
- Increment Value - The meter displays values from the minimum to
the maximum. This value indicates the frequency at which
intermediate values are displayed.
- Bottom Inset - This is mainly used to determine the space between
the display name and the graphical display. Increase this value to
move the name down.
- Top, Left and Right Inset - These are only meaningful if there is
a background color other than the default, white, set.
Increase these values to expand the background color in the direction
of the inset.
For example if the numbers on the left side of the graphical display
do not fall within the background color, increase the left inset.
- Background color - Change the background color. Use the inset
value to expand the area covered by the background color.
