Off Centre Pointer on Bitmap Knob?

Hi db,

Are you using the latest version of the module? There was a problem with the centreing prior to the q release. I'm pretty sure we ironed it out then.

I'm using version 095 'r' , latest version. I always install over the old version and tell the installer to replace old modules. Could that be a problem?

Maybe a clean install from scratch would solve the problem?

Thats the way i do it too, there shouldn't be a problem doing it that way. The bitmap knob seems to work fine here though.

It's the pointer being off centre that I was referring to, instead of being centred and proportional as it rotates-like the hands on an clock.

For example, like the white line on the Animated knob or the black dot on the Knob.

Hi db,

If you email me an example I'll have a look.

No need to- look atthe pointer on ALL bitmap knobs. Then look at the blue animated knob and it's pointer. The pointer line in the animated knob is the way all knobs that I have ever seen are displayed.

Hi db,

I may have the wrong end of the stick here. I looked at the bitmap knob and I think it may be very slightly off-centre. I moved the centre point in the properties and compared with the old one:

There is a slight difference, is this what you're refering to? Seems quite subtle to me.

No, that's not it. Take the circle and divide it into 4 even sections. The pointer is centred in and spins only in the upper left quadrant. I'll email you the bitmap.

I'm running an ATI 9000 Pro graphics card with 2 x 19" ViewSonic A90f+ monitors. They are set at 1280 x 1024, 32 bit. I have also looked at the knobs at 1024x768 and 1600x1200. Also all settings at 16 and 32 bit. If you need any other details, let me know.

Oh man! Do I feel dumb or what!/! 😊

I just realized that the three red dots are for positioning the pointer. Click on the bottom left red dot and centre the pointer in the circle-well DUH!!!

Sorry for leading you on a wild-goose chase.

My spider senses were tickeling it could be just this actual problem 🙂

I feel like the guy who was just told that his computer works better if it's plugged in!

At least I know I'm not seeing things!

No problem at all db, it's easily done (even easier given that there is no documentation, now there's something for me to be embarrassed about 😉)

We all make mistakes every now and then, no one is perfect 🙂

The important thing is being able to laugh at it! 🙂
