Problem pausing rotator

[MerlinTheRed]

I had a similar problem in the past. The solution was not to use ImageRotate in any way when using Meter=Rotator. ImageRotate will rotate the image and also resize it so nothing gets cut off. This is done before looking where the offsets put the center, so it will not be correctly centered. Perhaps using Meter=Image and ImageRotate does something similar, constantly resizing the meter. Try setting SolidColor=255, 0, 0, 255 on the image meter and see if you notice something.

You were right. the height and Width changes every moment(of the Red solid coloured square area).

Can you suggest some solution to this?? It will be great then. thanx in advance.

Please check out the link I posted, this contains examples and solution + explanation.
My example was just to illustrate my words before

Okay, I solved it. thanks to all. Here's what i did-

Code: Select all

[Rainmeter]
Author=TweaknFreak
Update=10
BackgroundMode=1
MiddleMouseDownAction=[!Refresh]


[Variables]
ImageW=228
ImageH=228
pause=1
nop=360


[MeasureRotate]
Measure=Calc
Formula=((MeasureRotate % 360) + #pause#)
MaxValue=360
IfEqualValue=45
IfEqualAction=[!SetVariable pause 0]
DynamicVariables=1


[Background3]
Meter=ROTATOR
ImageName=bat3.png
MeasureName=MeasureRotate
OffsetX=(#ImageW# / 2)
OffsetY=(#ImageH# / 2)
W=(SQRT(#ImageW# ** 2 + #ImageH# ** 2))
H=(SQRT(#ImageW# ** 2 + #ImageH# ** 2))
X=50
Y=50
SolidColor=255,0,0,255
ImageAlpha=255
AntiAlias=1
Hidden=0

Thanx again and let me tell ya all - you guyz are doing a great job here.

Do you want it to slowly rotate to 45 degrees or do you want it to just be rotated 45 degrees?

Your code is better, as it always has been. I did the same task too. And the answer to your question is yes I want it to be slowly rotated.

Well if you dont mind, could you figure it out whether it can be rotated counter clockwise and then paused ? Is it possible ?

Add RotationAngle=-6.28 to the Rotator meter.

Add RotationAngle=-6.28 to the Rotator meter.

That solves my problem totally. Thanx again to you guyz and I'll soon be back with more problems. :P
