Vary the width or height of an image

[NN1]

Hello,

I read that we can use formulas for the width or height parameters, for example :

W=(300/3) instead of W=100

After hours of trying, I can't find how to use a variable in there instead which would be related to a Calc.

Is it possible or would there be another way? Sorry if it's a dumb question but I really can't find how and couldn't find a related topic here. Thanks a lot in advance.

Code: Select all

[CalcWidth]
Measure=Calc
Formula=((UsedDiskSpace/TotalDiskSpace)*100)

[image7]
Meter=IMAGE
X=0r
Y=0r
W=[CalcWidth]
H=70
ImageName=images\example.bmp

You just need to add DynamicVariables=1 to your image meter, and it will work as you have it.

You have to add DynamicVariables=1 to any meter or measure that uses a measure's value in square brackets. Apart from that, I'd advise you not to multiply by 100 in the formula and instead multiply by the desired width in the image meter (thus making the code more re-usable). That's just an advice though. It will work just fine if you do nothing else but add DynamicVariables=1 to the image meter.

There really is no need for the Calc measure at all with Rainmeter 2.4.

Meter=IMAGE
ImageName=images\example.bmp
X=0r
Y=0r
W=([UsedDiskSpace]/[TotalDiskSpace]*100)
H=70
DynamicVariables=1

Hey ! Thanks a lot to both of you, it works !

I'll have a more tricky question later, but it's not about the same parameter, so I'll open another thread later.

Thanks again !
