When I create an ANIMATED ARC, I get an option to enter test data.
However, this test data will not be there next time I load the template (it resets to zero).
This makes it hard to see where I have drawn arc sections.
The ANIMATED BAR also forgets my test data, but instead changes to be the MAX VALUE - which at least shows me where the boxes are.
Both the ANIMATED ARC & BAR give me an option to display two different colors (as a gradient) that get filled in as the display changes.
It would be nice to have an option to set the background color.
TEXT.
It would be nice to have a SHADOW & OUTLINE options on text (with appropriate color selections.)
Currently I'm doing an outline by drawing the text 5 times.
(First in black at (+1,+1) (-1,+1) (+1,-1) (-1,-1), then in white at (0,0).)
It would be nice on ANALOG GAUGE FACE to be able to delete the ARC.
Currently I have to select a color, and make it 100% opaque.
I would like to take this opportunity to say how well the Gauge Designer works.
It is very easy to use, and very easy to see the results.
I have used others (TrackVision & TraqStudio) which had similar functionality, but were MUCH HARDER to edit.
Thank you.
