One of our customers would like a bubble level displayed as it is important to know X,Y tilt of the machine.

Given that an image widget's x,y position cannot be set in real time I am unsure how to address this request.

A brute force method would be to perform a DrawCircle() on layer 2 but I am sure this would have a significant impact on performance.

Another method would be to create hundreds of lamp gauges and turn on whatever one is closest to the actual x,y position. I can imagine that this would consume gobs and gobs of memory and probably worse than calling DrawCircle().

Any ideas?

You can change the position of an image widget with a state mahine.

Put the position you want in the variables "UserDefinedVariable.Screen.MovePosX" and "UserDefinedVariable.Screen.MovePosY"

Execute the action "Screen->Move()"

Execute the action "Screen->Process()"

How do I specify which image widget I am changing the x,y position of?

Can I also do this with a script?

Can I also do this with a C++ program?

Thanks,
David

When you add the Move() action to the state you will be able to select the image widget from the Data column.

You could use sendEvent() from a script to cause a transition to a state that executes the Screen-> actions.
