Hey guys,
I am having a heck of a time getting my dials to work right.
I tried writing the dial 'value' coordinates, (zero, thru 2000)from the Element location, based on the grid points on the artwork background bitmap, and also based on the Element location being 'in space', meaning, a coordinate being above that point is now a negative sum, and a value coordinate to the left of the Element coordinate is also a negative sum.
None of those 2 approaches work. I wonder what I am doing wrong, and I also need to know what the exact route is for making multiple analog gauges is on their system of coordinates for 'values'. (Is the first one right or the second one right?)
Here is the 4th Turbo Prop 'Prop RPM' or NP gauge so far.
I would be greatful for any guru knowledge on this seemingly complex subject..

Code:
<Element>
<Position X="62" Y="172" />
<Image Name="EICAS_Triangle_Dial_large.bmp" Bright="Yes" Sizes="16,20">
<Axis X="8" Y="51" PointsTo="North"/>
</Image>
<Rotate>
<Value Minimum="0" Maximum="2000">(A:Prop1 RPM,RPM)</Value>
<Nonlinearity>
<Item Value="0" X="8" Y="-7" />
<Item Value="1300" X="16" Y="-52" />
<Item Value="2000" X="32" Y="-36" />
</Nonlinearity>
<Delay DegreesPerSecond="20" />
</Rotate>
</Element>
