Glcd Bargraph Draw Problem

[Jordy101091]

Hi all,

I'm working on new software for my project and one of the items is using a bargraph for displaying data.
I have created a macro that lets me print a nice bargraph with all the different ticks and stuff, and I can fill this bargraph nicely with data.

The only problem that I have is, when the value keeps adding up you can see that the bargraph is filling so that works. When this data is going down (-) then the filling of the bargraph should respond,
in the same way but I cannot get this to work Im a bit stuck here.

All calculations are commented so I think it is better to understand what Im doing.

I hope somebody can have a look ad this.

Regards Jordy

PS. the macro name of the bargraph action is Graphic_Bar

Hi Jordy,

You need to clear the area to the right of the bar yourself. Set the foreground color equal to the background color and draw the pixels between the bar and the end tick in this color (.BarInFill_Width to .Width-1). This will effectively erase the remainder of the old bar.
(Do not forget to set the color back to the drawing color before drawing anything else)

BTW, you could probably use DrawRectangle to draw the bar and (after setting the color) clear the remainder.
