[Solved] Histogram graph style

[Skars]

Hi there!

I'm new to the scene, and I couldn't find an extensive information about Histogram possibilities and limits, I've noticed that all histograms I see use "Filled Total" or "Filled Thread" style Histograms.

I want to make a Histogram for CPU that display the information in Graph style, in other words, the Histogram is made of lines like in a graph, and not of bars.

I think is more easy to read a histogram in Graph style than in Filled bars style.

Heres a pic to illustrate of what I mean, the first 3 gadgets are from Windows gadgets, by orbmu2k. The #4, is the Rainmeter skin mod I'm trying to mimic orbmu2k.



Below the code for the Histogram I'm using:

Code: Select all

[MeterHistogram]
Meter=HISTOGRAM
MeasureName=MeasureCPU0
X=9
Y=127
W=110
H=30
PrimaryColor=ffffff
Antialias=1

Due to many bugs and software incompatibilities with sidebar.exe I'm moving to rainmeter

Is it possible to make Graph style histograms?

PS: The biggest benefit of Graph style histogram apart from being more clean to read, is that is possible to assemble multiple histograms together, like 4 to 8 CPU Threads in different colors, and make it possible to have an average reading of them all.

Thanks in advance!

you are not looking for a histogram.
a histogram looks like this:

in your skin the intervals are 1 pixel wide.

you are looking for line meters:

Hmm thank you man! is that what I was looking for, I mistook histogram with line meters, due that I couldn't reach that article.

Its working:



Now I can finish the graphics, thanks!
