Description
The Meter control allows you to display incoming values as a meter bar. It displays a background image and a bitmap for the lit state of the meter. The bitmap for the lit state is drawn clipped on top of the background image. The size of the clipped region depends on the current value. The Meter can either be drawn horizontally or vertically. The vu meter can be directly connected to parameter outputs of script modules, for example. The vu meter is a control that is optimized for drawing speed and therefore, it must be placed on the topmost level on the macro page, no other objects must be layered on top. To display the Meter and peak outputs of HALion's busses, a special vu meter template is required that contains two Meters and a special logic so that the template can be directly connected to any bus. Please use one of these configured meter templates that are part of the HALion Basic Controls library and set the bus parameter to the desired bus, for example @bus:0 for the first bus in the program. The graphical resources and sizes can be customized by modifying these templates.
