FIP Labels

[SmiffyRebel]

Hello
I am not sure how to assign labels to the side buttons on my FIPs
any help would be appreciated Thanks
I did search for this topic under FIP Labels and could not find anything, so if this question has already been asked I apologise
Cheers

Currently only a few gauges (namely those by fipgauges.com) support dynamic labeling.
I'll inlcude in the next update to be able "force" labeling, by simply overwriting the gauge-Image if that's what you want ...

Makes sense for SPAD.neXt to provide labelling when labelling is not supported by legacy gauges. Can't expect the general public to re-code their gauges.

The beauty of allowing gauge designers to code it means, font's, sizes and position can be calibrated specifically for the individual gauges and off course saved in the gauge opposed to being saved in the profile.

Are you planning to...
1) provide font sytle selection
2) font size
3) font colour
4) fine tuning position

I'm assuming labels created in SPAD.neXt will be saved in the profile so fixed to the physical FIP and not where the gauge is loaded? or are you planning to code some how to follow the gauge ?

1) Yes , but only fonts installed on the system
2) Yes
3) Yes
4) Yes

The Label-Information will be saved in the profile, bound to the Device-Gauge-Combination.

Look forward to beta testing.

Thought you needed gauges to have an ID to link to saved settings?

The ID is needed for e.g. gauge-scoped-variables.
it's not necessary for stuff saved to the profile, since it's saved in the section belonging to that gauge.
Change/remove gauge -> labels will be gone.

Ok that makes perfect sense.
