|Rotary control designed for the dashboard panel.  Has customisable value markings
around the control.  Simulation only - the control value can be read using simulation macros
but is not connected to a chip pin.

Downloadable macro reference

GetValue
Get the current scale value - this will be the most recent value set using "SetValue", or from the most recent mouse click if the component is in "Control" mode. 
- FLOAT Return


SetValue
Set the pointer to the given value on the scale. Returns the angle required to point at the given value. 
- FLOAT Value
The value on the scale to move the pointer to. 
- FLOAT Return


SetLabel
Set the label text for the scale 
- STRING Label
Text to display.as the component label. 
- VOID Return


SetRange
Set the minimum and maximum values of the scale 
- FLOAT Minimum
Minimum value for the scale 
- FLOAT Maximum
Maximum value for the scale 
- VOID Return



Property reference

Properties
Pointer
Set another panel object to be a pointer that will rotate around the scale. Depending on the property 'Function' (below).... "Display" mode - the object acts as a pointer showing the values set by the "SetValue" macro. "Control" mode - the object acts as a handle for mouse movements that will set the current value. 
Axis Object
An object to act as the centre of the arc, and rotation point of the 'Pointer' object. By default, the arc is drawn centrally, but by assigning an object here, the whole scale can be centred around a different point. 
Function
Choose the 'mode' of the component. "Display" mode - the arc can act as a value display, with the 'Pointer' object rotating to show incoming value changes. "Control" mode - clicking on the scale, or 'Pointer' object, sets the value directly, which can be susequently read by the "GetValue" macro. 
Canvas Shape
Shape of the plane on which to draw the scale.  
Resolution
The number of pixels per world unit of size. The scale is drawn as a bit-map, so this setting determines the level of detail vs. drawing speed and memory usage. 
BG Color
Color of the scale background. 
Positive Color
Color for arc and divisions for negative values. 
Negative Color
Color for the arc and divisions for positive values. 
Label Color
Color for the component label text. 
Radius %
Radius of the arc line as a percentage of the component's shortest dimension. 
Start Angle
Start angle of the sweep, where the minimum value will appear. Measured in degrees, anti-clockwise from the positive X-axis. 
Sweep
The number of degrees between the minimum value and the maximum value. 
Thickness
Thickness of the arc line. 
Show
Whether to show or hide the arc. 
Divisions
Number of main divisions around the scale - these divisions can be numbered. 
Radius %
Radius of the division ends - they are drawn from here to their intersection with the arc. % of the component size. 
Thickness
Thickness of main (numbered) division lines. 
Subdivisions
Number of smaller divisions between each main division. Set to zero if not required. 
Subs Radius %
Radius of the small division ends. They are drawn from here to their intersection with the arc. % of component size. 
Subs Thickness
Thickness of sub-division lines. 
Show
Whether to show or hide the division markings. 
Maximum
Maximum value to show on the display. 
Minimum
Minimum value to show on the display. 
Decimals
Number of decimal places to show on the number values. 
Radius %
Radius from the centre to place the number values. % of component size. 
Text Size %
Height of number text - % of component size. 
Font
Font for the number values. 
Show
Show or hide the number values. 
Text
A text label to help identify the display. 
Radius %
Radius to place the label - % of component size. 
Angle
Angle at which to place the label - degrees anti-clockwise from the positive X-axis. 
Text Size %

Font
Font for the text label. 
Show
Show or hide the text label. 
Show Buttons
Controls if the adjustment buttons are shown on the scale arc or not. 
Adjustment Value
Sets the button adjustment value, will round the value to the nearest whole adjustment. For example with an adjustment of 1,0 the adjustment buttons will jump to the next whole number.
