Special Variables | ||
$("any text" [, Formatting Option]) |
Use double quotes to write any text. This text can then be formatted using the Formatting Options. In order to output the "$" character itself, make sure that you enter "$$". |
If any text is entered as the second parameter, this text is seen as the result of the variable. |
Using the formatting options allows formatting the Text Display of the MOBOTIX camera's live image.
Examples:
$(fpr.eno, fill=0, len=6, align=right)
: Sequence number 6 digits and leading zeros.$("sampletext",len=80,fill=-,align=center)
: One full row of minus signs ("-") with the center-aligned word "sampletext".In order to output the "$" character itself, make sure that you enter "$$".
Syntax errors are displayed behind the formatting instructions and are enclosed in leading/trailing "#" signs:
#"sampletext",Test,len=80,fill=-,align=center:format parameter unknown#
The formatting commands take a value and are separated by commas (",") one after another.

This parameter sets the width of the text output. The remaining space is filled using the fill character. "0" is variable width. If the text is larger than defined in Default value: Reasonable maximum values and image sizes:
If higher than the maximum values in this table are used, the characters are wrapped to the next line. |
0..512 |
||||||||||
FIL FILL |
Sets the fill character to be used to format the output. This command takes one character. Superfluous characters will be ignored. Default value: |
