Calculating greatest number in a range.

[StArL0rd84]

We have the max function that calculates the greatest of two values (X and Y)
https://docs.rainmeter.net/manual/formulas/

Code: Select all

[GreatestNumber]
 Measure=Calc
 Formula=Max(30, 20)

But is there a way to formulate it different to include more values?
My skin has a background that needs to be dynamic in size to accommodate different widths of text.


EDIT:
Found a crude way to trick it using more measures.
But would like a less resource heavy solution still.

Code: Select all

[GreatestNumber1]
Measure=Calc
Formula=Max(30, 20)
[GreatestNumber2]
Measure=Calc
Formula=Max(40, 50)
 
[GreatestNumber3]
Measure=Calc
Formula=Max([GreatestNumber1], [GreatestNumber2])
DynamicVariables=1

There are variuos ways.
What i do when i need to compare more than 2 values is to nest the MAX-function:

Code: Select all

[BiggestNumber]
Measure=Calc
Formula=Max(30, MAX(MAX(23.2, 17), MAX(70, 10)))
