Hello.
I think I have put something together, following your suggestion.
Maybe you want to have a look and let me know what you think.
If you use the Sim Monitor editor contained here:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3544050/SimDash.test.zipand open this .lcd file:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3544050/test.lcdyou will see a gauge and a needle.
the needle is rotating with the seconds.
if you click the needle, you will see these properties set:
Mode: is set to Rotation. Rotation is a new value. it means that the image rotates based on the value of the data
In the "Rotation Mode" section:
Min Data value: the lowest value of the data associated to the image. For example, 0, if the data is RPM
Max Data value: the maximum data of the value. Could be 9.000 RPM for example.
Min Data Rotation: how many degrees the picture must be rotated when the data is at the minimum value. in the example the property is set to -90, which means 90 degrees to the left.
Max Data Rotation: degrees to rotate the picture when the data is at the maximum value.
Rotation Center X and Y: these are the coordinates of the rotation point. (0,0) is the top left corner of the picture.
Let me know what you think. Soon I will update the documentation on the website and if these changes are good enough, I will add them to the next release of SimDash.
regards
Cristiano
