Generated code is wrong?

[GeertVc]

I have the following small application I want to try out:

#platform "uLCD-32PT_GFX2"#inherit "4DGL_16bitColours.fnc"#inherit "VisualConst.inc"#inherit "WidgetsTestConst.inc"func main()//  Uncomment the following if uSD images used.putstr("Mounting...\n");if (!(disk:=file_Mount()))while(!(disk :=file_Mount()))putstr("Drive not mounted...");pause(200);gfx_Cls();pause(200);wendendifputstr("Mounting successful...\n");pause(1000);gfx_Cls();gfx_TransparentColour(0x0020);gfx_Transparency(ON);hndl := file_LoadImageControl("WIDGET~1.dat", "WIDGET~1.gci", 1);// Form1 generated 20/02/2012 7:51:48// Angularmeter1 generated 20/02/2012 8:28:17img_SetWord(hndl, iAngularmeter1, IMAGE_INDEX, numx); // where numx is 16 to 24img_Show(hndl, iAngularmeter1);repeat foreverendfunc

And attached is the image (taken from the 4D ViSi IDE) of the small app I want to
try out (filename: Workshop 3_2012-02-20_08-37-13.png).

As you can see, the lower bound equals 16, the upper boundary equals 24. As such, the generated code tells me that numx, last parameter of the function img_SetWord(), should be a value between 16 and 24. Which, to me, looks logical...

However, when I give a value between 16 and 24, I see garbage on the LCD when the app is downloaded.

I only see a good image on the LCD (but wrong positioning of the needle), when values between 0 and 8. The scale is divided in 1/9th parts apparently, where it should normally be based on a value between 16 and 24 (are floating values also possible in the function img_SetWord()???).

I've also attached a zip file that contains the project, in case someone wants to try it out him/herself.

The comment is wrong, for your application Numx should vary from 0 to 8.



There are 10 values (i.e. two 18 and two 22) because you have specified Labels as 10, change it to 8 to fix that.



Floating point values are not possible, but if you specify, say, decimals as 1, then 0 to 10 will be scaled as 0.0 to 1.0 (eg 9 will be 0.9)

I even didn't notice that...
Next to this, I see that I also have to change the "Ticks" value to correspond to the new values, otherwise, the scale looks weird...

Ah, that's the way to do it! Works great... I can now display temperatures with a granularity of 0.1°C, when using your trick. Exactly as I want it... Super!

By the way, the "auto generated comment" for numx now tells me that numx should be a value between 160 and 240. As I understood, that's a bug in the code generation, right?

I'm going to post this bug in the 4D Visi forum, that's the correct place, right?

Yep, that's a bug



The Visi forum is the correct place (only got created the other day)
