Wind Speed and Direction V1.1.0 Updated

[CyberTheWorm]

Muchos Gracias.

New version should say 4.0 now

[jminternelia]

Will work fine in 4.0, I was testing 4.1 and forgot to change the version number. Will re-upload it

Ok, I'm gonna go for noob, but I am trying to reconfigure this with some alternate assets, and I can't figure it out.

My arrow is wayyy too big. It is worth noting that the W and H for the compass are set to the size I want in the code. I tried this on the arrow also but has no effect on the arrow. Even still, before I changed W and H, I could get the (new) arrow lined up perfect in one in instance. I created a calc measure to change the direction parameter to test and quickly realized something about my arrows axis is off.

What I am trying to do:

What I have:

Can you give me some pointers?

[CyberTheWorm]

Looks like the offset are not correct for the hand. I would play around with the Y offset to get it to move down

Code: Select all

X=190
Y=190
OffsetX=0
OffsetY=6

Try adding that for hand2

[CyberTheWorm]

I played with your code and the above will rotate it correctly.

X=<Image width/2>
Y=<Image width/2>
The only thing off was the Y offset

[CyberTheWorm]

Code: Select all

[MeterHand]
Meter=Rotator
MeasureName=MeasureDirection
ImageName=#@#Images\arrow
X=190
Y=190
W=5
H=5
OffsetX=200
OffsetY=181
StartAngle=(Rad(270))
RotationAngle=(Rad(360))
ValueRemainder=360

Once again you need to look at the size and shape of the image to get the correct X,Y and offset values.
X and Y is the initial position of the image (top left of the image as that point), Offset is the point the image rotates around.

That will rotate it but you will still need to play with it to get it looking the way you want.

If you scale the arrow image by 50% size and change Offset X and Y to 90 you will get an arrow that fits in the circle.

[jminternelia]

I left hand 2 in there just as a guide. Are W and H not usable to resize my hand? I dont need it to git in the circle, rather just need to inner portion of the pointer to rest on the inner edge of the circle.

I was way overthinking this. What I wound up doing instead was just eliminating the [MeterCompas] altogether, combining my arrow and compass, so that the entire image rotates. Not quite as dynamic, but fits with what I am trying to do.

Aye. I wound up figuring out how to do what I wanted to begin with. I just made the two images the same size, Lined them up in GIMP and subtracted them from each other, then overlaid them.

Yeah, making the graphics 'match' each other simplifies the Rotator coding. We all sometimes overthinking things

Using UpdateRate=9 in [MeasureValues] is hitting weather.com every 9 seconds and may get you blocked
Might want to change that to match your other webparser, or use the default value (600).
