Meter Parts Library

The Meter Parts library contains tools that allow you to build your own photorealistic meters.  The drawing methods Meter 4 through Meter 13 are ready-made examples of what you can do with the tools in this library.

Note: To create your own meter, you will need to combine parts from this library with images from the Meters group of the bitmap images library.  Those images include: backgrounds, bezels, glass, indicators and tick marks.

The meter parts library includes five meter components: scale markers (Draw Scale), linear indicator, linear legend, radial indicator and radial legend.
