.0 with lua ?

[AlC]

Hey Guys,

notice a small (maybe) bug.
I did a small testskin/lua, which get the width of a string. And scale with it a BackgroundImage + ScaleMargins

Code: Select all

[Rainmeter]
Update=1000
DynamicWindowSize=1

[Background]
Meter=IMAGE
ImageName=#CurrentPath#TopDate.png
AntiAlias=1
X=0
Y=0
H=67
W=[Calc]
ScaleMargins=15,0,15,0
DynamicVariables=1

[StringMeter]
Meter=String
MeasureName=mWinampRadio
FontColor=255,255,255
X=15
Y=25
FontFace=Comic Sans MS
FontSize=10
AntiAlias=1

[MeasureLua]
Measure=Script
ScriptFile=#CurrentPath#Length.lua

[Calc]
Measure=Calc
Formula=(15*2)+MeasureLua

[mWinampRadio]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=Plugins\WindowMessagePlugin.dll
WindowClass=Winamp v1.x

Code: Select all

PROPERTIES =
{
}
function Initialize()

end

function Update()
return SKIN:GetMeter("StringMeter"):GetW()
end

So now I get in the about box: Measure - Calc Value - i.E. 242.0

Removed trailing zeros from calculated numbers.
Rainmeter will no longer automatically add zeros to a calculated number to force a constant 5 decimal places. The amount of "precision" will be only that required to support the value, up to 5 decimal places. This will eliminate the need to use Substitute=".00000":"" to strip the unneeded precision off of integer values returned by a Calc and used in other measures or meters as a string.
1.00000 -> 1
1.01000 -> 1.01
1.01001 -> 1.01001

I have 2.1 871. But the backgroundimage accept the 242.0 so maybe it's right

If I'm not mistaken, the Rainmeter "About" window hasn't been updated to reflect the recent changes to trailing zeroes. The actual measure value should be decimal-free, which you could confirm by writing a temporary string meter to display it - or using another little Lua script to get and print the measure value. :)

Yep, I had an extra string to show the calc measure and it was decimal-free.
I was confused the whole time because of the .0 and I thought this was my problem (W=242.0) all the time and tried to fix it but ...

all things considered I forget DynamicVariables=1
