[C#] | public void setShape(int pointerType [, double lengthRatio [, double widthRatio ]]); |
[VB] | Public Sub setShape(pointerType As Integer [, lengthRatio As Double [, widthRatio As Double ]]) |
Note: For angular meters, this method is for classical style pointers. There is another method MeterPointer.setShapeAndOffset for setting the shapes and positions of new style pointers.
The built-in symbols are specified by using the following predefined constants as the pointerType argument.
| Constant | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| DiamondPointer | 0 | The blue pointers in the meters above. |
| TriangularPointer | 1 | The purple pointers in the meters above. |
| ArrowPointer | 2 | The red pointers in the meters above. |
| ArrowPointer2 | 3 | The yellow pointers in the meters above. |
| LinePointer | 4 | The green pointers in the meters above. |
| PencilPointer | 5 | The grey pointers in the meters above. |
The length and width of the pointer can be scaled by using the lengthRatio and widthRatio arguments. The meters above are using default length and width ratios, which are both 1 for angular meters, and 0.75 and 1 for linear meters.
