Corjan you have been sneaky. How long have they been in the API. You must tell us when these cool new features hit so we can try and break them for you. Only kidding. Can’t wait to try out the interpolate function that should simplify the code bit.

Thanks

Already seen this part on the Wiki, I don't talked about it, I persuade myself that every one was going to the API page in the wiki on a regular basis

I'm on these pages day to day because while coding I still find times where I don't remember the way on how to do things, even if already having used the statements and syntax
For this, the wiki is very helpful to bring some clarifications

Haha, wasn't intentionally
But yeah, was about time to add something like this. I see a lot of ifelse structures everywhere.

Quick demo vid of the G2 MLI. Still a work in progress but its getting there..

[Ralph]

I've made one before, it's used by one of our Professional customers.

Nice job. Is that all canvas drawn or did you use some png files too?

[SimPassion]

Just an advice @HughB

you should update your previous post with YT link
and place the video identifier between the two Youtube tags, this is how it works on these forums :

Nice work indeed, I guess yours is a full Canvas work ?

[Ralph]

Mine is full PNG, except for the dimming. It was made in V2, so there was no canvas. When I converted it to V3, I added canvas to dim the screen. But it certainly better if you do it all with canvas. Is that your goal?

[HughB]

@SimPassion Thanks for the tip. I wondered why it wasnt showing the first frame.
@Ralph Some parts like the fuel guage, batt guage, warning colour boxes are canvas drawn and the needles are png's. Eventually when i go over it to bring it up to 3.7 spec (for the non linear needles) i will change as much as i can to canvas. Gotta get my head round drawing needle shapes and arcs first

You can do all of that with canvas if you wish. Take a look at this instrument I did when canvas first came out. It’s all canvas other than png’s for the instrument surround and panel background. It also uses normal text rather than canvas text which was not available on canvas back then but is now. You can even use png’s within canvas now.
