Filling an object.

Post by ozkarkof »

Hi, is there any way I can graduate fill an object (rectangle) based on a tag?, I mean I want something like a progress bar that shows the level of a tank and if its possible fills it with 1 colour when the tank is almost empty, another colour for normal lvl and another for high level.

I have no idea about how use scripts and I tried to do it with the progress bar, but it is in horizontal mode and i want it in vertical mode, also the colours thingy, thanks in advance.

Try the linear meter. Uncheck the Scale Visibility box and set the meter to Vertical.

If you must have the different colors, then the only way is to create a few pictures with the colors you want to have and use a multi-picture. A multi-picture allows you to show images based on the value of a tag.

Hi, thanks, I just made a lot of images and used the multipicture tool and it works fine, i dont need so much resolution so its ok.

Now I want to know if the panel T7A can show gift images and/or videos and if the answer is yes, which format and which code should i use?. Thanks in advance.
