Aligning image to Left of Center String

[Melancholyway]

Hi. I can't seem to figure out how to align an image meter to the left of a string meter that changes width often and is center aligned. It just aligns relative to the X=200 value and not the actual left of the text. How can I do this?

Code: Select all

[Description]
MeasureName=MeasureDescription
Meter=STRING
MeterStyle=Weather
StringStyle=Bold
StringAlign=Center
X=200
Y=170
FontSize=15

[Icon]
Meter=IMAGE
ImageName=#@#Icon.png
X=-30r
Y=0r
W=24
H=24

[Active Colors]

Code: Select all

[Icon]
X=([Description:X]+[Description:W])
DynamicVariables=1

You can substract or add some space between your string meter and image by adding some numeric value inside the bracets. For example X=([Description:X]+[Description:W]+10)

Thanks for that. I completely forgot about :W. That doesn't work for aligning with the left of the text though but this did:

Code: Select all

X=([Description:X]-([Description:W]/2))

Thanks again.

Another way of doing it is to set R for your Icon meter's X. As I see you already know that r places the meter relatively to previous meter's starting point, so R is same but places the meter to end point of previous meter.
But since your text is centered, you will need to dived it's width by half, so it will look like

Code: Select all

X=([Description:W]/2)R

Anyway I should say that the first method I posted is more practical if your meters are not placed one after another.

Oh, misread your post. I thought you wanted to put your image meter on the end of the string meter.

Thanks for that. I completely forgot about :W. That doesn't work for aligning with the left of the text though but this did:

Code: Select all

X=([Description:X]-([Description:W]/2))

Thanks again.

This will actually place your meter incorrectly. Insted of dividing Description meter by half you should substract your image meter's width.

Code: Select all

X=([Description:X]-([Icon:W])
