First, I'm very glad to have finally come to the world of Rainmeter. My inner geek is loving this..
Second, please forgive the newbie nature of this question.
I want to set upper and lower bounds to my line and histogram meters and I can find no way to do that. Autoscale just does not do it for me in all situations and other settings like Scale and Min/MaxValue don't seem to get it either. What am I missing?
Please advise.
See? I told you it was an easy one.

Re: Line and Histogram bounds
I think you are talking about Height & Width. The manual page is here and below is a snippet from one of mine as an example of an autoscaled line meter that is 190 x 40:
Code: Select all
[MeterUploadGraph]
Meter=Line
MeasureName=MeasureUpload
X=10
Y=20r
W=190
H=40
Autoscale=1
Antialias=1
LineColor=#Colour1#

Re: Line and Histogram bounds
Thanks, but I'm not talking about Height and Width. I am talking about AutoScale and not wanting to use it.
For example:
I have a measure that will have a minimum value of 0 and a maximum value of 100. I do not want to use AutoScale on this particular Line/Histogram. I wish to set my upper bound (or limit, if you will) of the Line/Histogram to 100 and the lower bound of the Line/Histogram to 0. I then want the Line/Histogram to display with those bounds while not employing AutoScale.
In short, I do not want to use AutoScale. I want to be able to tell my meter what limits I would like it to display within.
This seems such an incredibly easy concept that I must be missing something... Somewhere.
Thanks for your patience and help.

Re: Line and Histogram bounds
Don't use autoscale then? If set to 0, the meter's scale is taken from the largest max value of the all of the measures used. Autoscale=0

Re: Line and Histogram bounds
Oh Boy...
Feeling a bit stupid now.
I was attempting to use MaxValue and MinValue on the meter instead of the measure.
Thanks for your help.
As time goes by, I'll attempt to return the favor for other new users.

No worries if I had a pound for every cockup I have made...
