Suggestion: Orientation option for Bitmap meters

Post by Bekarfel »

Currently bitmap meters calculate the orientation of a bitmap by the dimensions of the image (Documentation says the orientation is determined automatically from the height or the width of the image). This behavior makes it difficult to create very tall and thin or short and wide bitmap meters.

What I'd like to suggest is for an Orientation option with values of horizontal or vertical to be added for the bitmap meter which will preempt the automatic orientation detection and instead use the horizontal or vertical orientation chosen by a skin author.

To ensure backwards compatibility the option should, if blank or non-existent, default to the automatic determination operation.
