Origin
Defines the starting position of the first line of the scale in degrees counter clockwise. So "-90" starts at
the top. "0" starts on the right, "90" on the bottom etc.
ScaleArcMin
In degrees, counter clockwise, starting from the "Origin" (mostly 0).
ScaleArcMax
In degrees, counter clockwise, starting from origin. If you know you want 3/4 of a circle you set this value
on 270, if you want half a circle you can set this value to 180. Then it is easier to get the scale positioned
the way you want by adjusting the Origin.
Scale Major Interval
This value is only valid when "Scale Step" = 0. It defines how many intervals are visible on the scale. If a
value would result in a strange scale, it is rounded down to the first value that makes sense. If this doesn't
result in the scale that you would have liked to see, it is better to use the Scale Step.
Scale Minor Interval
Specifies the number of intervals between two Major values. This is also rounded down to a value that
rounds down to whole numbers on a tick. Most practical values are: 0, 3, 6, 10.
Scale Step
Defines the Step Size on the scale: for example, on a scale from 0 to 100 with a step size of 20 you would
see: 0, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100. When the step size is too small compared to the range of the scale it stops
looking nice. Or you would have to enlarge the control to make all values fit again.(Note: when set to zero
the number of Major Ticks is defined by "Scale Major Interval").
Frame Width
Draws a little border around the meter to give it some 3D effect.
11.3.2. Output Controls
The following controls can be used to display values from a running script.
Gauge
A Gauge can be used to show values on a scale that can be defined with the properties dialog.
Number
A Number Control can be used to display numeric values. Currently, the following display formats are
defined:
· decimal
·
hexadecimal
·
ASCII
The display format can be set in the properties editor of the Number control.
When using the ASCII format, this indicator shows up to 4 ASCII characters, defined by the four byte
values of a 32-bit integer.
