Just curious...

Post by smurfier »

I'm just curious. Is it possible to use an animated gif? Also, is it possible to "draw" a circle? I know I can draw a square, but I don't need a square.

This is the song that never ends. It just goes on and on my friends. Some people started singing it not knowing what it was, and they'll continue singing it forever just because . . .

1) No

2) Yes. Look up ROUNDLINE under Meters in the manual.

So, I'm guessing I'd just set it to solid and create a calc measure that comes out as 1 to make a solid circle?

I'm planning on making a working, calculating solar system once i learn enough c++ to make a plugin to do the calculations since rainmeter is not currently capable of such mathematics. Using this would make scaling the planets a lot easier than using images.

Yes, that should work.
