Specifying settings for Cylinder gauges
When using the [Specify Gauge Settings] dialog box to create and configure gauges, the settings on the [Cylinder] tab are used only when the gauge type is [Cylinder] and control how these types of gauges display.
When modifying a gauge by script, use the GaugeSetProperty method or the GaugeGetProperty method to make these settings. Use the GaugeProperty enumeration.
This table lists the basic settings you can make on the [Cylinder] tab. GaugeSetProperty and GaugeGetProperty property names are also listed.
| Cylinder tab Fields / Options | Property name | Description / Comments |
|---|---|---|
| Origin X
Origin Y |
CylOriginX
CylOriginY |
Specify the X and
Y coordinates for the bottom left portion of the cylinder. Coordinates are
given in pixels as measured from the lower left corner of the gauge component.
As [Origin X] increases, the cylinder is moved to the right. As [Origin Y] increases, the cylinder is moved upward. |
| Radius | CylRadius | Specify, in pixels, the radius of the cylinder. |
| Height | CylHeight | Specify, in pixels, the height of the cylinder. |
| Y Scale | CylYScale | Specify the units
of scaling, from 0 to 50, for the Y-scale perspective (vertical aspect of the
cylinder).
For example, by default, a cylinder appears as if you are looking at it from a somewhat elevated position, above the level of the cylinder itself. This is the equivalent of setting this option to about [30]. If you then set this option to [0], the cylinder appears as if you are looking at it directly from the side, at the same level as the cylinder itself. If you set this option to [50], the cylinder appears as if you are looking at it from about a 45 degree angle above the cylinder. |
| Fill Color | CylFillColor | Specify the RGB
value for the cylinder fill color, as a hexadecimal value (000000-FFFFFF).
You can double-click to display the [Color] dialog box, where you can select a color or define a custom color for the cylinder fill. The hexadecimal code displays after you click [] to exit the [Color] dialog box. |
