Trying to draw my first knob HELP

Nu Audio Science · 7 May 2005

Done a small update on the design, Added lines to the bottom of it.

Basically this would be the end frame, The darker of the two lines will roate back towards the lighter of the two and the blue interior will follow accordingly (Hopefully). I would also like to do a version that changes to red the higher the knob is turned, Is this possible ?

I hope somebody wakes up and trys this soon im on a roll here 🙂

Shif i've updated the file

I've tided it up using some of the examples but still cant get the blue part to follow the black line ? I think i need to use a similar tecnique as the balck line but on the sweep angle of the blue arc, If that makes sense ?

OK i've updated again because i have some kind of solution but it still isn't right ?

Is this what you wanted it to do :-

???

If so this is what I did to the module drawing the blue arc :-

And the input to the float val comes from the output of the 'knob' module!

HTH,

Haha, I re-worked that last update, only just saw you posted a newer one! However if I've understood your question right my solution works fine 🙂

Just trying to do some standard Tracktion controls

I see fro the arc line styles you can use dotted, Do you know if the individual dots can be colored differently or are they all one vector or something, I'm just thinking for an indicator that changes color like LEDS ?

Right i best get back to trying to animate the color on this blu arc 😉

OK i've updated the file now im strugglin with the color change I think my brain is working wrong on this one but i believe i need some way to hold a particular float value until a certain value is sent from the knob to change the color Phew that probably makes no sense to you at all

I even tried using two color pickers so you could choose the start color and end color, I used the alpha value to blend the two colors together but the end result isn't that great either

Is there a way to do this color changing but actually holding the original color for half the travel of the knob before it blends ?

The alpha blend method would be cool because when you are building a GUI using thisknob you could just pick the start and end color simple 🙂

Ok i will post this as an example now, I managed to get the dial to change red right at the end by using float less and float select Works exactly as i wanted but a color version of that float select would be nice the we could use the color picker method i posted about earlier to choose the two colors 🙂
