Creating dynamic graphics?

[android]

Hi -

Just wondering if there's any way to create a graphic which is addressable.

For example, I have a calculation that results in "58%" and I want a "progress bar" to show at that calculation result.

Is there any way to do this?

thx

Andrew

You need a global with your graphic, I normally just use one pixel of color and expand it so I can make my fields any size and not worry about the graphic distorting on rezize.

Then you have a series of calcs where the result is a container, the more detailed you want your bar to be then the more fields you create. In this example my progress bar will grow and shrink in quarters.

Qtr_1 = case(calcresult ≤ 25, graphic, "")

Qtr_2 = case(calcresult > 25, graphic, "")

Qtr_3 = case(calcresult > 50, graphic, "")

Qtr_4 = case(calcresult > 75, graphic, "")

You might have to add a "and not isempty(calcresult)" if the graphic shows up when calcresult is 0 or empty. You can write a hundred of these calcs in no time to get an exact measurement. The you just lay the fields out next to each other on the layout.
