How to change each gradient on a "gradient fill" slider

[orko]

I found an example named "Example-Alarm Slide Control" from LV8.

I've gone over this example and the "Example-Slide Fill Color" example, which are very good at explaining how to change the fill color based on an input value. Searching around though I haven't yet found an example of how to change each gradient on a "gradient fill" slider to make a multi-colored slider. Something like this:

...where the colors would stay constant as the slider moved up and down exposing blue/green/red indicators, similar to how a real meter with individual LED indicators would appear on a dashboard.

I have a feeling I'm going to be developing some sort of boolean cluster with three arrays and a numeric (for the digital display) in it, but is there a simpler/better way of doing this with a slide?

Thanks for any input,

How about something like this that takes advantage of multiple sliders?

Norman,

Now that's what I call "slick"! I was trying to get multiple sliders to work (I had a much more complicated solution in mind), but the thought of comparing the individual sliders to a set "maximum" from a cluster constant, and outputing the "minimum" of the two was what I was missing. This concept will come in handy elsewhere...

THANK YOU VERY MUCH! My eyes are open now. :worship:

My eyes are open now. :worship:

Always happy to open a few eyes, now I just need to get everyone looking in the same direction as me

My eyes are open now. :worship:

...and now they've slammed shut, and refuse to open until I promise not to look at that freaky pic again!

That eye looks like to many late nights programming or too much beer, or both.

You tell me which

Your so funny.

Ok, I know I've spent too much time on the forum, now I really need to get back to do some real meaning making thing. But, just one more question, so you can control your eye balls separately?

Have a nice day.

Three step Process

Go cross eyed

Look left

And slowly look back to center w/ only 1 eye

Oh my God, I see 3D... I mean anaglyph image.

Never thought I'd see the day for an algorithm for advanced eye crossing. Do you charge for this or is the seminar free?

I think you mean four step, don't you? --> Step Zero: :beer: :beer: :beer:
