SIMPLE graph or guage or bar representing negative numbers

[LondonNDIB]

I'm probably asking too much here. I'm looking for a quick and simple solution and not something polished that's going to take me too long to learn and/or implement.

I want to graphically represent values between X and Y so I can see them as I change. The kicker here is X might be a negative number. I wanted to use ProgressOn but of course that is limited to integers between 0 and 100.

Ideally I'd love to be able to have a panel of "guages" or dials that I can directly send the values to through my script.

I figured I'd ask here in case someone had a good (AND SIMPLE) idea!

Thanks

Just because the value IN the progress bar is an integer between 0 and 100, doesn't mean you have to LABEL it that way. Just do the math to label as required. Try this with some negative numbers:

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <ProgressConstants.au3>
#include <StaticConstants.au3>

Global $hGUI, $Input1, $Input2, $Button1, $iMin, $iMax, $iIncrement
Global $Progress1, $Prog1_First, $Prog1_X, $Prog1_Last
Global $Progress2, $Prog2_First, $Prog2_Y, $Prog2_Last

$hGUI = GUICreate("Test", 400, 450)

GUICtrlCreateLabel("Min Value:", 10, 10, 75, 20)
$Input1 = GUICtrlCreateInput(0, 95, 10, 50, 20)
GUICtrlCreateLabel("Max Value:", 155, 10, 75, 20)
$Input2 = GUICtrlCreateInput(100, 240, 10, 50, 20)

$Progress1 = GUICtrlCreateProgress(75, 70, 250, 40, BitOr($GUI_SS_DEFAULT_PROGRESS, $PBS_SMOOTH))
$Prog1_First = GUICtrlCreateLabel(0, 75, 55, 50, 15)
$Prog1_X = GUICtrlCreateLabel("X = 0", 150, 55, 100, 15, $SS_CENTER)
$Prog1_Last = GUICtrlCreateLabel(100, 275, 55, 50, 15, $SS_RIGHT)

$Progress2 = GUICtrlCreateProgress(180, 150, 40, 250, BitOr($GUI_SS_DEFAULT_PROGRESS, $PBS_SMOOTH, $PBS_VERTICAL))
$Prog2_First = GUICtrlCreateLabel(0, 125, 380, 50, 20, $SS_RIGHT)
$Prog2_Y = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Y = 100", 75, 265, 100, 20, $SS_RIGHT)
$Prog2_Last = GUICtrlCreateLabel(100, 125, 150, 50, 20, $SS_RIGHT)

$Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("RUN", 150, 410, 100, 30)

The comment about ProgressOn isn't entirely true.

If X = -2, and Y = 2, this example shows two ways to calculate the displayed 0.2 incremental, increasing values between X and Y.

;
ProgressOn("Progress Meter", "Increments every second", "-2")

For $i = 0 To 4 Step 0.2 ; 20 steps
    Sleep(1000)
    ProgressSet($i * 100 / 4, Round($i - 2, 4))
Next

For $i = 0 To 100 Step 5 ; 20 steps
    Sleep(1000)
    ProgressSet($i, ($i / 25) - 2)
Next

ProgressSet(100, "2 Done", "Complete")
Sleep(2000)
ProgressOff()
;
