Roundline meter with high line width, is it bendable?

[Benjirich]

I am making a clock with 3 Roundline rings of only 5px thickness (LineLenght-LineStart=5) , so for visibility I want the line to be very wide.

If I raise linewidth the line is straight instead of following the rings curve, how do I fix that?

Please post you config (in a rmskin package).

No one will be able to really help fully without your code.

Have a look at this:

Code: Select all

[MeterRL]
Meter=ROUNDLINE
MeasureName=YourMeasure
X=100
Y=100
W=52
H=52
StartAngle=4.6825758
RotationAngle=-3.0820
LineColor=220,220,220,255
LineLength=70
LineStart=75
Solid=1

You dont need the line width in this. The start and length are all you do need.

Sorry, those rotationangle and StartAngle are only for a half circle.

This is a full circle at 100% measuretest.

Code: Select all

StartAngle=-1.5458897
RotationAngle=6.188

Please post you config (in a rmskin package).

Or at least the code (especially if no resources - images for instance - are involved).

What he needs is an arc. Roundline becomes a straight line when LineWidth is used.

@death.crafter Thank you so much I'd have never been able to figure it out on my own!

I am having a hard time understanding and implementing it but I'm getting there. Do you happen to know how to get rid of the slight offset (half of the stroke width) to the left and upwards? Besides using a variable for stroke width and moving it X/Y by half of that.

A code still would be needed, as asked before.

The anatomy of the Arc would be:

Shape=Arc StartX, StartY, EndX, EndY, RadiusX, RadiusY, BigArc

StartX=(CenterX+Radius*cos(startAngle-angularWidth/2+rotationAngle*[Measure]))

StartY=(CenterY+Radius*sin(startAngle-angularWidth/2+rotationAngle*[Measure]))

EndX=(CenterX+Radius*cos(startAngle+angularWidth/2+rotationAngle*[Measure]))

EndY=(CenterY+Radius*sin(startAngle+angularWidth/2+rotationAngle*[Measure]))

RadiusX=RadiusY=Radius

BigArc=0 since we want the smaller arc.

So just change the CenterX and CenterY points to position it right. That's add half the stroke width to both CenterX and CenterY.

I am on phone so couldn't format it more readable-y. Hope you can get the gist of it. Feel free to ask if you don't understand something.
