Free Control for Dashboards

[quote=46006:@Tomas Jakobs]Hi Xojo Developers,

today I throw in this xojo control for free (LGPL). It is not perfect but it simply does its job in displaying percentage values on a Dashboard.
Feel free to download, improve and use in your projects. It would be great to use this thread for discussion or more improvements.
And I hope to give an example for more devs, throwing in their xojo code snippets or controls.

The Control and sample project:

Enjoy![/quote]
Hey Tomas, thanks for releasing this. I am getting some jagged edges around the outside of the control. I haven’t had a look yet to see why but thought I’d ask if you happen to have a newer version before I do?

Is it possible to change the colours under a LGPL license?
I ask because it states VERBATIM.

@Tomas Jakobs my apologies for bumping an old thread, but I was wondering whether you ever updated your radial progress bar for retina displays? On my retina MBP I see jagged lines on the outsides of the circular shape. I’d really like an updated version, if you have one, as I need this in my app! :slight_smile:

Looks smooth like baby’s bottom for me in Retina:

How does the control look for you?

Yours does look smooth!

This is what I get straight from the demo app attached to the top of this thread:

Ahem, it looks better because I had added Retina support. Please download the new version from http://www.mothsoftware.com/downloads/Archiv.zip. Uses MBS.

Ah OK. I don’t have the MBS Complete kit so I won’t be able to use it.

MBS is only used for getting the RetinaScaleFactor so you should be able to remove the dependency.

The link is broken :frowning:

In the original demo, the small and medium circles are indeed jagged.

The traditional way of avoiding jaggies is to create a much larger picture and scale it. From what I see in the demo, you can create a fairly large circle. I would try a much larger canvas placed off and above the window so it won’t show that scales it down to the displayed one.

Ah cool. I have a declare for that in iOS so I’ll just have to find the desktop equivalent.

Now the only other thing is that your link doesn’t seem to work. :slight_smile:

Sorry, the upload ended up in the wrong directory. http://www.mothsoftware.com/downloads/Archiv.zip now works.

Hi, it looks like someone ate this content again. Any chance of reposting the link with Retina support?

Thanks,

Richard

I’ll check the files in the afternoon.

Jason, just for your information, if you’re Retinaizing your App with App Wrapper or Xojo Scripts then mine should be also crisp because it uses shapes only

I had accidentally deleted the files, from ftp and also from my computer. But it was easy to restore:

Again: this is using MBS.

Thanks very much for taking the time to provide this.

Much appreciated!

You can share your project! the link is broken.
Thanks

The link seems to work for me. I just tried it.
Maybe there was a temporary problem?

@Dirk Cleenwerck
Are you trying the same link as Victor is referring to?
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/30535865/xojo/DashControl.zip
This link gives me the message: File not found.

@Tomas Jakobs
Is the file is removed?
