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.

yThe y coordinate of the center of the texture mapper.
See also:

getEndAngle

virtual int getEndAngle()const

Returns:

The end angle.

See also:

getStartAngle

virtual int getStartAngle()const

Gets start angle for the needle (and arc).

Returns:

The start angle.

See also:

putArcOnTop

void putArcOnTop(boolarcOnTop =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_tnewAlpha)

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:
newAlphaThe new alpha value. 255=solid, 0=invisible.
Note

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

See also:

Reimplements: touchgfx::AbstractProgressIndicator::setAlpha

setArcPosition

void setArcPosition(int16_tx ,
int16_ty ,
int16_twidth ,
int16_theight
)

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:
xThe x coordinate.
yThe y coordinate.
widthThe width.
heightThe height.
See also:

setArcVisible

void setArcVisible(boolshow =true)

Allow the arc to be shown or hidden.

Parameters:
show(Optional) True to show, false to hide. Default is to show the arc.

setBackgroundOffset

void setBackgroundOffset(int16_toffsetX ,
int16_toffsetY
)

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:
offsetXThe offset x coordinate.
offsetYThe offset y coordinate.
See also:

setCenter

virtual void setCenter(intx ,
inty

See also:

setHeight

virtual void setHeight(int16_theight)

Sets the height of this drawable.

Parameters:
heightThe new height.
Note

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

Reimplements: touchgfx::Drawable::setHeight

setMovingNeedleRenderingAlgorithm

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:
algorithmThe algorithm.
See also:

setNeedle

void setNeedle(const BitmapIdbitmapId ,
int16_trotationCenterX ,
int16_trotationCenterY
)

Sets a bitmap for the needle and the rotation point in the needle bitmap.

bitmapIdIdentifier for the bitmap.
rotationCenterXThe rotation center x coordinate.
rotationCenterYThe rotation center y coordinate.

setStartEndAngle

virtual void setStartEndAngle(intstartAngle ,
intendAngle
)

Sets start and end angle for the needle and arc.

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

Parameters:
startAngleThe start angle.
endAngleThe end angle.

setSteadyNeedleRenderingAlgorithm

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:
algorithmThe algorithm.
See also:

setValue

virtual void setValue(intvalue)

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:
valueThe value.
Note

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

See also:

Reimplements: touchgfx::AbstractProgressIndicator::setValue

setWidth

virtual void setWidth(int16_twidth)

Sets the width of this drawable.

Parameters:
widthThe new width.
Note

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

Reimplements: touchgfx::Drawable::setWidth
