Round [Mesure] to an integer

[Rbuha]

Hello. How do I round the data to an integer in [Ms_CPU]? I need to use [Ms_CPU] as a path variable in BarImage.

Code: Select all

[Ms_CPU] 
Measure = CPU 
Processor = 0
[M_Bar] 
MeasureName = Ms_CPU
Meter = Bar 
Y = 3 R 
W = 250 
H = 30 
BarImage=#@#\1\[Ms_CPU].png
SolidColor = 150 , 150 , 150 , 255 
BarOrientation = Horizontal
DynamicVariables=1

See balala's answer below instead

One way is to add another Calc measure [Ms_CPU_Round] that uses Round(x, precision). Other options are using the floor, ceiling, and truncating; see the full list at Formulas.

Code: Select all

[Ms_CPU]
Measure = CPU
Processor = 0

[Ms_CPU_Round]
Measure = Calc
Formula = Round(Ms_CPU)

[M_Bar]
MeasureName = Ms_CPU
Meter = Bar
Y = 3 R
W = 250
H = 30
BarImage=#@#\1\[Ms_CPU_Round].png
SolidColor = 150 , 150 , 150 , 255
BarOrientation = Horizontal
DynamicVariables=1

Another solution beside Alex88's idea is to not use an additional Calc measure, but to round the value of the measure directly into the Bar meter. Something like this:

Code: Select all

[Ms_CPU] 
Measure=CPU 
Processor=0

[M_Bar] 
MeasureName=Ms_CPU
Meter=Bar
Y=3R
W=250
H=30
BarImage=#@#\1\[Ms_CPU:0].png
SolidColor=150,150,150,255 
BarOrientation=Horizontal
DynamicVariables=1

See the updated BarImage option: BarImage=#@#\1\[Ms_CPU:0].png. The [Ms_CPU:0] section variable always returns the rounded value.

I knew there was a more simple way that I was missing, forgot about the decimal parameter on section variables, definitely the better way here. If you wanted to do more complicated things to the number, full expressions, then that's when you would have a separate Calc measure.

Thank you all so much for your help!

Using a distinct Calc measure is definitely not a bad solution. It is widly used and in most cases it is much simpler, than using the section variables. My proposal was just an idea about another solution of the same problem.
