TextGauge: Examples
You can create a new text gauge using
local TextGauge = require("MDK.textgauge")
tg = TextGauge:new()
That's the bare minimum, and will default to 24 chars wide, uses ':' for the fill character and '-' for the empty character.
You can see it what it looks like with cecho(tg:setValue(50) .. "\n")
You can make it wider, using tg:setWidth(40)
, then the cecho again
If you run cecho(tg:setValue(100) .. "\n")
it reduces the size of the gauge itself to fit the extra number
You can visually show values greater than 100% by setting the overflowColor. First without the color set. using tg:setValue(123)
for the next several examples
And then we tg:setOverflowColor("light_blue")
You can use a different character for overflow as well. tg:setOverflowCharacter("#")
Let's be a bit playful.
tg:setFillCharacter("$")
tg:setFillColor("dark_green")
cecho(tg:setValue(60).."\n")
Continuing, how about
tg:setEmptyCharacter("=")
tg:setEmptyColor("yellow")
cecho(tg:setValue(60).."\n")
And now maybe
tg:setPercentColor("cornflower_blue")
tg:setPercentSymbolColor("purple")
cecho(tg:setValue(23).."\n")
You can turn off the numeric and % sign:
tg:disableShowPercent()
tg:disableShowPercentSymbol()
cecho(tg:setValue(12).."\n")
Or you can do it all in the beginning:
tg2 = TextGauge:new({
width = 40,
fillCharacter = "$",
fillColor = "dark_green",
emptyCharacter = "=",
overflowCharacter = "#",
emptyColor = "yellow",
percentColor = "cornflower_blue",
percentSymbolColor = "purple",
overflowColor = "light_blue",
})
cecho(tg2:setValue(139).."\n")
