Round Gauge compatible with Big Reactors?

Hi guys,

So I'm in the process of refining a few BigReactor power stations I've designed based on two real ones and one of the things I am looking for is a round graphical gauge, sort of something like this:



Are there any programs around which can take an input variable and present it in a gauge format, or something like that? On a monitor?

This would be used to represent the power output from the Turbines because I don't find EZ-Nuke covers this well enough (I still run it for reactor control though).

I'm using Direwolf20 1.7.10 pack by the way.

Many thanks for your answers,
Chris

I don't know of any programs that do this, although I could give it a try. If you want to do it yourself, I expect this will take a knowledge of sin, cos, and tan. You might also want to compensate for CC's pixels, which are approximately 2/3 width by 1 height.

If you are aware of the limitations computercraft terminals and monitors have in "pixel" amount and ratio, you can certainly do that. If there are programs around? Well I don't know. There are a couple API's providing drawing routines for circles. Based on their algorithm some of them are able to be modified so that they only draw a section of the circle and voila: You have your gauge. You can always create your own program to do this ;)/> If you have really trouble finding something or creating yourself, you can ask a more specific question of a more specific problem than just is there a program out there that does blabla.. ;)/>

Awesome - If you do decide to give it a shot please let me know!

Aha thanks. I think this kind of program is slightly outside of my ability zone. I'd give it a go but I know I wouldn't be capable of doing it.

Will have to keep my eye out I think :)/>
