New puzzle.
Using InvertMeasure to have yellow progress from right to left.
I only changed one of them.

Code: Select all


[ProgBarRTB]
Meter=Shape
X=50
Y=10
Shape=Path TopBar | Strokewidth 2 | Stroke Color #Main#,100 | Fill Color #Goth#,200
TopBar=265, 80 | LineTo (265-265*[MeasureGPUTemp]/100),(80+45*[MeasureGPUTemp]/100) | LineTo (275-270*[MeasureGPUTemp]/100),(132+17*[MeasureGPUTemp]/100) | LineTo 275, 132 | ClosePath 1

I guess I should have explained:

When going from right to left you have to change the maths accordingly.

For example You have to move from the right most point to the left most point and not the other way around. For that you have to subtract the difference form max value.

Same goes for the vertical too. If the right most point have a greater Y coordinate you have to subtract the difference and vice-versa.

Yep. I figured out some of it. But I am like geometry dyslexic, so it kinda does my head in. But I slapped in what you provided, and it works perfectly.

So I have not gotten as far with the other bars, as the one you exemplified to me with. So if I am not slapping in numerous further questions, it is because I am just slow to get these figured out.

Thank you for being patient with me, as I grind through basic math and geometry. My degree is in Social Science, and math was not a big part of that. :oops:

Well, if math is a weak point for you, why drawing shapes in the first place? Using shapes REQUIRE some more or less reasonable math understanding. You could use images and get away with it, since graphical design seems to be one of your strong points.

Other than that, if you REALLY want to understand things, the key is doing them without looking at the answer. Sure, the answer is useful to verify yourself and all, but the only way to get things right all the time is to try to "discover" / "experiment" things until they become your second nature, so to speak.

That being said, trying to "convert" a large number of bars all at once is going to be difficult even for a math savvy user. I suppose that for some bars the angle, size or orientation are similar, so why not taking just one shape of such group, figure it out, then copy paste the code for the rest of the shapes in that similar group and just modify the coordinates? :confused:

EDIT: I'll try to design an arbitrary quadrilater (shape made of 4 edges) progress bar, based on input coordinates and parameters, which will output the complete code for the desired shape, so you can use it to paste things in your code without bothering with the math, if you need to. Stay tuned.

OK. Here is the working copy.
The two lower right bars will, I think, be top process, and either download (scaled so its not always empty), or something... happy to get suggestion/s.

Everything looks good but I am not so sure about the buttons panel at the top and bottom. They don't fit in well and their perspective is outwards when the rest of your skin's perspective is inwards. Rather than that good job. And in the end it's your skin, so you decide what's better. :D

Ok. Everything is working great. But there is a crazy simple thing I am missing when using these shapes to show free and used respectively. The used should be yellow and free is green.
So, I am stuck on this and I dont know why. O.O

Code: Select all

[MeasureFreeDiskSpace]
Measure=FreeDiskSpace
Drive=C:
UpdateDivider=60
DynamicVariables=1

[MeasureUsedDiskSpace]
Measure=FreeDiskSpace
Drive=C:
InvertMeasure=1
UpdateDivider=60
DynamicVariables=1
These wont compute correctly - the bars go waaay off, and it is just bogging my mind. :oops:
What do I need to have with these for the shapes to correspond correctly?

Since CodeCode already finished his work, here's a fully automated quadrilater progress bar for the less math savvy, adjustable to any:
- coordinates
- direction
- perspective
- visuals
It not only builds the shape without any effort from the user (other than providing the coordinates via input or scroll on their boxes, and direction via scroll on the shape itself), but it provides the code for it too.

(this is death.crafter's shape here, but having the progress bar advancing from the top edge instead, via a simple scroll on the shape)

All you need to do after playing with the parameters is to copy paste the code by clicking on its box, or, alternatively, either copying or writing the #Code# variable from the log or to another .INI or .INC file.

This time complying to yincognito I won't be handing over the solution since it won't help you in the long run. Tho I will tell you how to.

Take an existing bar. Right to left or left to right. If the bar is Right to left(which most probably is the case) make two dynamic shapes in the same section, one going from right to left that is the used disk space. And one from left to right, showing the free disk space. And vice versa for left to right. The bars should look like this:

And the measure should be like this:

Code: Select all

[MeasureFreeDiskSpaceRaw]
Measure=FreeDiskSpace
Drive=C:

[MeasureUsedDiskSpaceRaw]
Measure=FreeDiskSpace
Drive=C:

A work of art indeed. But an attached skin would have been nice. Unless ofc you want to follow the path of Arch Linux and let the user build it on their own. :rolmfao:
