How to change size of rotator images?

[pbutler6]

I have created two rotator image meters, one PNG, and one JPG. I have the rotators working, but I can't figure out how to change the sizes of the images. How do I adjust the sizes of the displayed images?

You really can't. The W and H options are used to define the size of the "meter", which determines the center of rotation of the image. The actual image is used "as is", and to change the size of the image, you would need to resize it in some external image editing software.

Alternatively, you can use TransformationMatrix to alter the size of the meter(s) "after the fact".

This is going to be complicated by your use of Container in this case, to "mask" the moon .jpg file to eliminate the background.

Thanks. TransformationMatrix does work. I'm what do I need to change to get the whole JPG image?

I'm not entirely sure, as this is a bit outside my wheelhouse, but I suspect you will have to play with the X (and maybe Y) setting for the Container Shape meter.

[jsmorley]

It's possible that it might be better to "scale" the actual shape in the Shape meter, rather than applying TransformationMatrix to it.

[pbutler6]

I'm not sure what you mean by 'scale' the actual shape.

The JPG does work with the 5th value equal to (#ContainerX#*(1-#JPGAdj#)). However, this only works if I enter the 5th value as a number, not as a formula.

The formula works the same on Y value. TransformationMatrix doesn't like formulas in the 5th and 6th positions.

It does like it, there is nothing wrong if you're using a formula.
But would be nice to pack the whole config you have and upload the package here, becuase it would be much - much more easier for us to test if if have the involved image.
Anyway, I can definitely assure you that TransformationMatrix does work with formula on any position (including the fifth and sixth). I know, because I tested it and did work.

Thanks for checking. It probably something simple, but here is the skin:

The skin seems to work fine now. Is still there anything wrong with it?
