 Flipping a Meter |

I have created several meters for use as a car heads up display.
However, I need to flip them horizontally so they come out right as a reflection in the window glass.
Is there a way to do this? It appears that the hflip() only works with drawing charts.
I think I could make the meter backwards, but the letters would still come out wrong.
Any ideas? |

Hi sdanks,
Yes. You can flip a meter (or any chart) too. First, use BaseChart.makeChart3 to draw the chart and get the underlying DrawArea, then use DrawArear.hFlip to flip the chart.
For example, in VB/VBScript:
Call c.makeChart3().hFlip()
Hope this can help.

Ok, I have it working now. Thank You.
Turns out I needed to do a vertical flip and not a horizontal one.
For anyone else that might have this problem,
just add the makeChart3 and getDrawArea before you output the picture:
'Make the chart in memory and flip it.
Call m.makeChart3
Call m.getDrawArea.vFlip
' Output the chart
Set viewer.Picture = m.makePicture |
