Current day of the week in an ellipse.

There's a rounded rectangle

which you can use to draw the text and you can measure the length of it via 

getTextDimensions(text as Lang.String, font as Graphics.FontType) 

which is also on the Graphics object.  Once you've done that you need to format the current date using Time.now() and use today.day_of_week, which is in the example on

https://developer.garmin.com/connect-iq/api-docs/Toybox/Time.html

completely untested example below:

using Toybox.System;
using Toybox.Time;
using Toybox.Time.Gregorian;
using Toybox.Graphics;

function onUpdate(dc){
var today = Gregorian.info(Time.now(), Time.FORMAT_MEDIUM);
var day = today.day_of_week;

var dims = dc.getTextDimensions(today.day_of_week, GRAPHICS.FONT_SYSTEM_SMALL);

dc.setColor(Graphics.COLOR_RED, Graphics.COLOR_TRANSPARENT);
dc.setPenWidth(4);
dc.drawRoundedRectangle(0, 0, dims[0]+10, dims[1]+10, 3);

dc.drawText(dims[0]/2, dims[1]/2, GRAPHICS.FONT_SYSTEM_SMALL, today.day_of_week, Graphics.TEXT_JUSTIFY_CENTER | Graphics.TEXT_JUSTIFY_VCENTER);

}

You get the idea. You should be able to put all those things together to print the day of the week in a rounded rectangle.

Thank you very much for your help. I just thought they would draw it to me all the days of the week and it would be specific in the red rectangle. 
I can't do this yet. some idea?

Just like a casio watch...

I'm not sure why you think it's built in. Have you seen it somewhere else? 

Are you building an app or a watch face, or you simply want someone to provide one?

I just wanted to make seven days appear on my watchface and I will have the current day in an ellipse.

I see no other way than creating the rectangle and filling with the day. It's only around 10 lines of code to make it work.

I don't know what code to use yet, I have to look at the tutorial and instructions, but it will take me a long time. 
Thank you for your help.

Here's a simple example. where I size the box based on the size of the text and the fount used, with the upper left being at 30,50

var f=Graphics.FONT_XTINY;
var str=clockTime.day_of_week.substring(0,3);
var rX=30;
var rY=50;
var rW=dc.getTextWidthInPixels(str, f)+6;
var rH=dc.getFontHeight(f)+2;
		
dc.setPenWidth(2);
dc.drawRoundedRectangle(rX, rY, rW, rH, 3);
dc.drawText(rX+rW/2,rY+rH/2,f,str,Graphics.TEXT_JUSTIFY_CENTER|Graphics.TEXT_JUSTIFY_VCENTER);
		

And this is how it looks in the sim (ignore the stuff below the DayOfWeek.)

You can also use a fixed size box, and use the came code to center the text in the box.

Hi Jim, 
please send me the whole code with the Toybox import. 
It doesn't work for me after copying. 
How do I edit your code so that watchFace displays all days and the current day in an ellipse? 




Error Sim: Symbol Not Found Error
Details: Could not find symbol 'day_of_week'


Thank you for your help.

Here's how you get the DOW in the proper format:

var now=Time.now();
var clockTime=Time.Gregorian.info(now,Time.FORMAT_MEDIUM);

Hello.

I can't create a code that would show all the days of the week and the current day would be underlined. 
Will you help me to create it please.

Thank you very much.
