Digital Display

thanks, a nice little gadget 😀

Nice. Here's an alternative one that wrote a while ago... 7 Segment Display ...slightly different, this one just displays any float number that you put into it (open properties for number formatting and colour options)

Thanks. I've tried to make with color options, but it did not work. I did not know how to use the Colour Matrix primitive. I saw your displays trogluddite - looks great. I thought that it can be done with Label Modules to have color options, but it does not look as digital. Anyway, try some others ... If there was a primitive with which to adjust the Hue, Saturation, Value for bitmap, it would be nice. Or Draw Bitmap Transform primitive is for this?

The colour matrix is the only quick way to change a whole bitmap - but the maths of the matrix is tricky, and if the bitmap has many colours they will all be changed in strange ways. The 'On Colour' 'Off Colour' modules in the schematic were as far as I got understanding it - they will always reliably turn black into the colour that you choose, while keeping the alpha (so transparency is not affected).

What a coincidence! You have 1111 posts, and I 11. 😀 Ok. Allowed to use the module with Colour Matrix? Thanks.

hey pall if you are a registered user then search the Reg. User Forum. i posted a digital display some times ago with the option to change the colours. but it´s not a big thing so i am sure you will create your own easyly. cheers

Yes sure, everything I post up on the forum is for sharing, using, learning.

Here's another "colour to matrix" with working alpha channel.

trogluddite · 22 Dec 2010

Nice one Mo - much clearer than all my scrappy string manipulation!

trogluddite · 22 Dec 2010

And another colour changer inpired by Mo's method. This lets you change any black and white image into pretty colours...

This one generates a new bitmap with the altered colours - the colour matrix seems to use a lot of CPU when re-calculating, so using a resampled bitmap should help with CPU usage when re-drawing.

I'm finished this schematic, with the help of Trogluddite, for this thanks. Now is with the color options. I want to add - on this scale is difficult to get exactly what you. Mo , Thanks for schematic, is very good.

Here's another version of Digital Display. A small contribution... 🙂

trogluddite · 12 Apr 2011

🙂 Like the 'repeater' action on the buttons, really good to do big changes quickly.

You mean like the Hue/Saturation Adjustment Dialog in Photoshop? E.g. turn a red LED into a yellow one?

Here you go!

awesome martin I 😍 it

Cheers, Walter

pall · 3 Feb 2012

This is very good. 😍 It seems that you like the math... Thanks Martin!

martinvicanek · 3 Feb 2012

Thanks guys!

Indeed, I find math can be useful at times. Or as one great mind put it:

Galileo Galilei wrote: The Book of Nature is written in the language of mathematics.

pall · 3 Feb 2012

I think the math is a concept. Nature is just a total chaos, that man is struggling to understand it. 😉

cyto · 4 Feb 2012

Yeah Martin, that is a really cool module 😀

My first instinct is to use it to make a GUI whose "mood" changes with the time of day.

@Martin. You should make one module, that stuffing it in toolbox, having the primitive Help with a short explanation. Sliders should be shorter (half). And I think it ought a new thread to be found more easily.

Cheers!

Thanks again, guys.

Updated OSM in my original post. The "HSB To CM" module is tidier now and has a Help tooltip. Feel free to use, add it in your personal toolbox if you like.

pall wrote: Sliders should be shorter (half).

The sliders are just for demo purpose to showcase the "HSB To CM" module. My GUI design capabilities are very limited. 😊 Feel free to use your own favorite controls to drive the module, just make sure to respect the parameter units/ranges (deg for Hue and % for Saturation/Brightness, respectively).

Good point. Mods, please could you help?

pall · 4 Feb 2012

Hi! (I was away a few hours) If you want, you can use this.

Cheers!

martinvicanek · 4 Feb 2012

Cute! 😍

I added a second set of counters to the arrow keys to enable slow counting when you hold the button, and then after three seconds, changes to fast counting. This is similar to the action of some pieces of hardware I have used over the years, and of course it can be further customized by changing the wait times.

Kind regards, David

pall · 6 Feb 2012

@RRSounds Smart thing. Thanks! 🙂

@ Martin You do not want to finish the your schematic? 🙂 I understand that you like these sliders.

Cheers!

pall · 7 Feb 2012

OK! Here is a tool for colour control. The concept belongs to martinvicanek.
