Problem with partial upd .. function, please help.

I would just ask you to do functions that will repeat if, else if. drawing from right to left is not a problem, I only change x, or center, left, right

I still have a question, is it better to use a font because of memory, or do you prefer dc.fillPolygon - slash?

everything depends on free memory/peak etc use memory monitor  and sim

and remember that some group of devices has different limit

if you have memory is simple to use font

Thank you for answer. One last question, please email me what the if function for loading seconds should look like?

function onPartialUpdate(dc)
{

var s = SYS.getClockTime().sec % something;
dc.setClip(seconds_x [s,0], 175, 26, 20);
dc.setColor(
SYS.getClockTime().sec % 2 ? Graphics.COLOR_BLUE : Graphics.COLOR_RED,
Graphics.COLOR_TRANSPARENT);
dc.drawText(seconds_x [s,1], 175, $.fontIcon_seconds, $.ICON_SECONDS, Gfx.TEXT_JUSTIFY_CENTER);
}

if

dc.setClip(seconds_x [s,0], 180, 26, 20);

dc.drawText(seconds_x [s,1], 180, $.fontIcon_seconds, $.ICON_SECONDS, Gfx.TEXT_JUSTIFY_CENTER);

}

 }

???

everything depends on algorithm, I give you the example how to choose colours from seconds

const mColors

[

Graphics.COLOR_BLUE,// colour for second 0,2,4,..

Graphics.COLOR_RED  // colour for second 1,3,5,..

];

function onPartialUpdate(dc)
{

dc.setClip(20, 175, 26, 20);
dc.setColor(
  mColors[SYS.getClockTime().sec % 2], ///sec %2 is rest of integer dividing per 2
  Graphics.COLOR_TRANSPARENT);
dc.drawText(333, 175, $.fontIcon_seconds, $.ICON_SECONDS, Gfx.TEXT_JUSTIFY_CENTER);
}

Thank you very much for your help, I probably already know how to do it, but it will be very difficult for me.

so do i have to do a dc.setClip on each slash?

I haven't tested it...

const mColors

[

Graphics.COLOR_BLUE,// colour for second 0,2,4,..

Graphics.COLOR_RED  // colour for second 1,3,5,..

];

const mPositionTextX_ClipX
[
//fill it drawX, clipX
[...,...],
[...,...],
[...,...],
[...,...],
[...,...],
];

function onPartialUpdate(dc)
{

if(sec % 6)
{
    //drawing only for 1..5 second
    var
    sec  = SYS.getClockTime().sec,
    pos = (sec  % 6)  - 1;
    
    dc.setColor(
        mColors[(sec / 10) %2],
        -1);
    dc.setClip(mPositionTextX_ClipX[pos][1], 175, 26, 20);
    dc.drawText(mPositionTextX_ClipX[pos][0], 175, $.fontIcon_seconds, $.ICON_SECONDS, 1);
}

}

so I repeat the if function and change only the parameters?

i don't know what you mean, fill mPositionTextX_ClipX and test it

BTW. probably nobody will use this feature due to battery saving so don't get tired too much.

My onPartial lasts 675 micro seconds (and i have option in settings to off it) see in profiler how is in your case.

thank you for the warning, it is made up so that it always runs save mode according to user settings. Or I'll change it so that the slash reads in 5 seconds.

Hello, so I modified your code and when I want to run Low Power Mode in SIM, I get this error?
