Change (bargraph) colors by input channel
Does somebody knows if it is possible to change the colour of for example a bar graph by a variable.
Now yo have to choose a fixed colour.
I want to change the colour if the input value is above a adjustable setpoint.
The way program it now is to have two bar graph with different colours, and use the visible input to select the color.
Maybe a idea for a next release???

Not sure if I understood the qeuestion, but to make a sharp change of color on a bargraph above a certain value, you could use a four-point gradient:
Then set this on the color property on the bargraph.
(but I think the normal gradual change of color on the gradient will look better in most cases)
Thanks Gustav, I our case the client wants to have 1 green bar, which changes to red or yellow when the process value is outside the safe limits (alarm). Furthermore the alarm threshold is adjustable by the operator.
I did try a 3 colour gradient, but the colour position is a fixed value, and cannot by assigned to a channel.
So it should be very helpful if instead of a fix colour in IQAN a channel can be used to select the colour, and also in case of a gradient, the colour change position can be assigned to a channel
PS Now I solv this problem by placing 2 or 3 linear bar on each other, which I make visible by a channel.
Is there any news about this topic?
In general it should be great when you can control text or bargraph color by a variable (channel) instaed of fixed colors
