I’m learning the Style Customizer for the Meter component in Vision. I do see there is an Arc Width parameter that controls the thickness of the green-yellow-red arc, but I don’t see where you can change the colors of that arc or the angles at which those colors transition. Even if I increase the Overall High Bound to a value of - say - 1000, the green-yellow-red arc still only spans from 0 to 100.
Even if I set Arc Width to zero, it still displays a thin sliver of the arc. Trying to set it to a negative value does make the arc disappear in the Designer, but throws an error that the parameter can’t be set to that value.
I guess I’m looking for a Vision meter component that is as customizable as the ones in Perspective. Any thoughts on how to achieve this while still working in Vision would be appreciated. I don’t necessarily want to transition to Perspective in this case since this is a fixed-screen machine HMI.
If you’re comfortable with/willing to learn some trigonometry, you can get an ultimately customizable component via the Paintable Canvas. Put it into a template, and if you squint hard enough it’s basically a custom component.
Unless i misunderstood your question you can adjust the colors and ranges here. You could probably figure out what range corresponds to what angle, but you cant directly enter the angle.
@josborn - that is exactly what I was trying to do. I just didn’t think that Interval N Outline was the parameter that would change what I was trying to change. I was messing with Interval N Background and getting these colored pie-shaped wedges in my meter.
@PGriffith - the Paintable Canvas is probably more of a rabbit hole than I want to go down right now, especially with josborn’s answer, although it does look like the ultimate in customizability and worth learning someday.
