String Meter: Significant figures

[greensheep]

Hi,

I have a meter displaying my cpu usage as a percentage. When the usage is >10%, (37%, for example) two digits are used. When the usage is <10%, however (e.g. 5%) only one digit is used. My question is, then, how does one manipulate the skin's code so that the meter is displayed to 2 significant figures at all times?

In the Measure, add:
Substitute="1":"01","2":"02","3":"03",etc...
Do that up to 9, and it may take a little tinkering.

Search for Substitutes if you need more help on it.

Try this

Code: Select all

[MeasureCPU]
Measure=CPU

[MeasureCalc]
Measure=Calc
Formula=MeasureCPU / 10
Substitute=".":""

[MeterCPU]
Meter=STRING
MeasureName=MeasureCalc
NumOfDecimals=1

That wouldn't work (11% CPU would become 0101%)..

That's very, very true.
Well, I think kenz0's way would work.
