I recently came across an XML gauge for a digital readout  that did not use a bitmap file as a background. The gauge displayed as a row of numbers on a clear background.

 

I am familiar with making digital gauges to display all types of readouts, but I have always used a background bitmap either opaque or clear. I would normally use something equivalent to the following.....

 

<Image Name="DigBkg.bmp" ImageSizes="100,20"/>

 

 

I cannot remember (nor can I find the particular gauge) that shows me how to create the same gauge without the bitmap but ending up with a clear background. From memory it was something like.....

 

<GaugeSizes="100,20"/>

 

Can anyone offer any suggestions.

 

Try this -

<Gauge Name="Test Gauge" Version="1.0">
<Size X="xx" Y="yy"/>
<!-- Elements or OTHER STUFF -->
</Gauge>

Thanks

I also played around further and found that

 

<Gauge Sizes="XX,YY"/>

 

Also works. The background colour can be determined in the text section for the string as....

 

BackgroundColor="Black" (which would be transparent)
