Gauge

A gauge is a graphical element that shows a needle on a dial, often a speedometer or similar. Much like a progress indicator, the minimum and maximum value of the Gauge, as well as steps can be set. For more information on this, consult the documentation on ProgressIndicators.

A Gauge has a needle and optionally an arc that follows the needle.

See also:

setCenter

getEndAngle

virtual int getEndAngle	(			)	const

Returns:

The end angle.

See also:

setStartEndAngle

virtual int getStartAngle	(			)	const

Gets start angle for the needle (and arc).

putArcOnTop

void putArcOnTop	(	bool	arcOnTop =true	)

Shows the arc on top of the needle.

By default the needle is drawn on top of the arc.

Parameters:

arcOnTop	(Optional) True to put the arc on top of the needle (default), false to put the needle on top of the arc.

setAlpha

virtual void setAlpha	(	uint8_t	newAlpha	)

Sets the opacity (alpha value).

This can be used to fade it away by gradually decreasing the alpha value from 255 (solid) to 0 (invisible).

Parameters:

newAlpha	The new alpha value. 255=solid, 0=invisible.

Note

The user code must call invalidate() in order to update the display.

See also:

getAlpha

Reimplements: touchgfx::AbstractProgressIndicator::setAlpha

setArcPosition

void setArcPosition	(	int16_t	x ,
		int16_t	y ,
		int16_t	width ,
		int16_t	height
		)

Sets arc position inside the Gauge.

This is especially useful if the arc is using a bitmap painter. If the center has previously been set, the arc center will be updated to be at the same offset relative to the top left corner of the Gauge.

Parameters:

x	The x coordinate.
y	The y coordinate.
width	The width.
height	The height.

See also:

setCenter, getArc

setArcVisible

void setArcVisible	(	bool	show =true	)

Allow the arc to be shown or hidden.

setBackgroundOffset

void setBackgroundOffset	(	int16_t	offsetX ,
		int16_t	offsetY
		)

Sets background offset inside the Gauge.

If the dial is smaller than the size needed for the Gauge to show the needle, the background image can be moved inside the Gauge.

Parameters:

offsetX	The offset x coordinate.
offsetY	The offset y coordinate.

See also:

setBackground

setCenter

virtual void setCenter	(	int	x ,
		int	y

See also:

getCenter

setHeight

virtual void setHeight	(	int16_t	height	)

Sets the height of this drawable.

Parameters:

height	The new height.

Note

For most Drawable widgets, changing this does normally not automatically yield a redraw.

Reimplements: touchgfx::Drawable::setHeight

setMovingNeedleRenderingAlgorithm

void setMovingNeedleRenderingAlgorithm	(	TextureMapper::RenderingAlgorithm	algorithm	)

Sets rendering algorithm used when the needle is moving during an animation.

For better performance, this can be set to TextureMapper::NEAREST_NEIGHBOR. For nicer graphics, it should be set to TextureMapper::BILINEAR_INTERPOLATION (this is the default behavior).

Parameters:

algorithm	The algorithm.

See also:

updateValue, setSteadyNeedleRenderingAlgorithm

setNeedle

void setNeedle	(	const BitmapId	bitmapId ,
		int16_t	rotationCenterX ,
		int16_t	rotationCenterY

Parameters:

bitmapId	Identifier for the bitmap.
rotationCenterX	The rotation center x coordinate.
rotationCenterY	The rotation center y coordinate.

setStartEndAngle

Sets start and end angle for the needle and arc.

By swapping end and start angles, these can progress backwards.

Parameters:

startAngle	The start angle.
endAngle	The end angle.

setSteadyNeedleRenderingAlgorithm

void setSteadyNeedleRenderingAlgorithm	(	TextureMapper::RenderingAlgorithm	algorithm	)

Sets rendering algorithm used when the needle is steady (after an animation).

For better performance, this can be set to TextureMapper::NEAREST_NEIGHBOR. For nicer graphics, it should be set to TextureMapper::BILINEAR_INTERPOLATION (this is the default behavior).

Parameters:

algorithm	The algorithm.

See also:

updateValue, setMovingNeedleRenderingAlgorithm

setValue

virtual void setValue	(	int	value	)

Sets the current value in the range (min..max) set by setRange().

Values lower than min are mapped to min, values higher than max are mapped to max. If a callback function has been set using setValueSetAction, that callback will be called (unless the new value is the same as the current value).

Parameters:

value	The value.

Note

if value is equal to the current value, nothing happens, and the callback will not be called.

See also:

getValue, updateValue, setValueSetAction

Reimplements: touchgfx::AbstractProgressIndicator::setValue

setWidth

virtual void setWidth	(	int16_t	width	)

Sets the width of this drawable.
