this would be possible if you make a 3D object, put it on a layer and then manipulate that layer with widget designer. WD would need to get input from your polling solution...
Im sure its all possible, but very advanced programming :)

Jeremy is exactly right.

I have done this very thing in the past.
You would use one 3D object per stat you want to display.
Set the Y Scale of the layer for each item - and note the range - for example, set the scale to 0 for 0% and find the maximum (let's say Y Scale 4.0) for 100%.

Then, again as Jeremy mentioned, you connect a Widget device to each layer to control the Y Scale.

You can automate this using the Widget Designer:
Have the Widget receive data from something external that is generating the data and have the Widget automatically update the bars;
If you are using the Widget Designer Free, you can use a button to add to the bar graph. This script would do the trick:
Code: Select all
DeviceFadeParam(<siteID>,<playerID>,"Y Scale",1)


If you want to make this a little more dynamic, that is completely possible too.

If you need some pointers, this forum is a great place to look for help with that if you're not familiar with Widget Designer or with programming.



Let us know how it goes!

Dear Justin i can use the widget designer to update the values from excel file without problems but if i use the bars i cant fix the botton place and when i apply a value the bars get larger in both position i can move pivot position for scale but i cant do to be always in the same posiiton in the bottom.

Also if i want to use cilindrical chart , i try with alpha+key but is not posible because when the key is larger thant the fill , you can see a grey image, is any other posibility?

Kind Regards

It sounds like you have your parameters linked together.
You can find info on this at the bottom of the page here:
https://www.coolux.de/root/downloads/support/Documentation/Helpfile/#changing_parameter_values.htm
And then yes, you're right, you need to use the scale and rotation offsets to make this work correctly.


I don't understand what you mean with the cylindrical chart question, can you attach some pictures or your project file?

Can you attach your project files so I can give this a try?

Thanks!

Hi Justin,

regards
