how to hide a part of an image

[FreakQuency]

how can i limit the skin area so that part of the skin wont showup on screen

for example i have an image of 500x500 but i want to display its upper part (250x500) i also tried to use rotator meter to limit the size of displayed part but couldn't display the proper image.In the previous version the line ImageName=%1.png seemed to work but now it says couldn't find the bitmap file.

In addition i may need the startangle variable to shift the images precisely so is there a way to accomplish this while shifting through pngs and showing upper half of the image at the same time:)

Code: Select all

[daymeter]
Meter=ROTATOR
MeasureName=daymeasure
ImageName=%1.png
X=0
Y=300
H=0
W=500
StartAngle=0
RotationAngle=0
ValueReminder=43200
OffsetX=250	
OffsetY=250
AntiAlias=1
DynamicVariables=1

Rainmeter displays the whole image at all times. It can be resized, rotated, the color can be changed as well was being made transparent, but the whole image will be displayed. You will need to make separate images to be displayed, or make one large bitmap and use the bitmap meter to shuffle through it.

tanks for the reply:)I solved the problem.actually it is possible with a trick in rotator meter as i mentioned before.I used it like an image meter.i omitted the valueremainder part that gives it the rotation and defined the height width and x,y values with some experiment.By doing this i am able to hide any portion of an image.

Code: Select all

[daymeasure]
Measure=Time
Format=%d

[daymeter]
Meter=ROTATOR
MeasureName=daymeasure
ImageName=[daymeasure].png
X=0
Y=300
H=0
W=500
StartAngle=-0.2
RotationAngle=0
OffsetX=250	
OffsetY=250
AntiAlias=1
DynamicVariables=1

Very clever.. Good job.

thanks:) but i have a diffrent problem now i cant use substituted values in formulas.i tried many combinations for this but still no luck.i am putting the code to give an idea

Code: Select all

[monthmeasure2]
Measure=Time
Format=%m
Substitute="01":"0.3" , "02":"0.42" , "03":"0.17" , "04":"0.1" , "05":"0" , "06":"0.06" , "07":"0.04" , "08":"0.26" , "09":"0.51" , "10":"0.33" , "11":"0.43" , "12":"0.43"

[Weekdaymeasure2]
Measure=Time
Format=%w
Substitute="0":"0.34","1":"0.37" , "2":"0.40" , "3":"0.54" , "4":"0.40" , "5":"0.27" , "6":"0.52" 

[weekdayangle]
Measure=Calc
Formula= monthmeasure2 + weekdaymeasure2

[yearmeter]
Meter=ROTATOR
MeasureName=yearmeasure
ImageName=[yearmeasure].png
X=0
Y=300
H=0
W=500
StartAngle=[weekdayangle]
RotationAngle=0
OffsetX=250	
OffsetY=250
AntiAlias=1
DynamicVariables=1


;these lines to show the actual values that the measures have

[test1]
measurename=weekdayangle
meter=string
text=%1
fontsize=22

[test2]
measurename=Weekdaymeasure2
meter=string
y=30r
text=%1
fontsize=22


[test3]
measurename=monthmeasure2
meter=string
y=30r
text=%1
fontsize=22

the only problem here is with [weekdayangle]. its value is daymeasure2 + weekdaymeasure2 without substitutes.

[JamesAC]

To use the substituted values you need to use DynamicVariables I believe:

Code: Select all

[weekdayangle]
Measure=Calc
Formula= [monthmeasure2] + [weekdaymeasure2]
DynamicVariables=1

[FreakQuency]

i tried it but still no luck:( it displays 0 as its value.

It's just hidden under the decimal point. You can see real value if you add "NumOfDecimals" as follows.

Code: Select all

[test1]
measurename=weekdayangle
meter=string
text=%1
fontsize=22
NumOfDecimals=2

[FreakQuency]

you are right i forgot to add the numofdecimals line but even after that it still shows 0.00 value as i expected.Is there any way to add two substituted values of measures in a formula like the code in my second post?

[JpsCrazy]

Add DynamicVariables=1 to the measures with substitutes.
