Gambas ONE

Still no reply... wow... I really want to get this project moving. It looks like my option is to program an Atmel AVR in BASCOM and then read it via SPI... that is sort of Rube Goldberg... and I didn't want to interface one chip with another... because my subscribers are likely not going to have BAS...

BruceSteers... I'll tinker with this.
Thank you!

Ok, I'll stick with DRAWINGAREA... it works and doesn't take much effort to drop in as an overlay.

Thanks,
Jerry

If I create a DRAWINGAREA and paste some code on it... it works.

If I create a PICTUREBOX, then paste the exact same code... fails.

When I read through the documentation, it said the PAINT functions could be used in a DRAWINGAREA and/or the following.. Picture Image DrawingArea Printer SvgImage DRAWINGAREA works great... I make a PICTUREBOX and load in the SVG image... then I create a DRAWINGAREA and place it over the PICTUREBOX...

Feel free to use anything I have created... I'm still learning.

If you know someone who has figured out the ADS1115 chip in Gambas... that would be incredibly helpful

If you need me to zip up some files I can do that too.

BruceSteers - I'll play with your code and do some experimenting. Cogier - Not sure what went on... but as I thought... yours rotates the entire image. With my method... I can have the overlay (drawingarea) do multiple pointers, text, and even "fluid levels" (working on that) all on ONE image if I ...

I created a new file in QT, pasted in the code and attempted to run it... NULL OBJECT in FMAIN 36 TEMP-ERROR.png Bummer. :( I do appreciate the effort... maybe I'm just missing something small. :roll: It also appears as if your code is rotating the entire drawingarea ... ( I could be wrong) my metho...

I have become pretty good at making gauges for GAMBAS, I drop in an SVG image, then overlay it with a DRAWINGAREA and draw a gauge with .stroke and .fill which look great. Public Sub drawingarea1_Draw() Dim cx As Integer = DrawingArea1.W / 2 'Horizontal Center Dim cy As Integer = DrawingArea1.h / 2 ...

I found an easy work around, I just set an image box on the form, place the picture into it with "STRETCH" set to "TRUE".
Then, I set it to be the same size as the background form... for what I'm doing... it works a charm. Thanks,
Jerry
