DefaultFormatStr

Represents constant DefaultFormatStr.

Create(TComponent)

Initializes a new instance of the TRSSVGCustomInstrument class. (Overrides FMX.RS.SVGControl.TRSSVGControl.Create(TComponent).)

ActiveSVGElement

Specifies the dynamic element in the SVG, the part that will be changing often. The ActiveSVGElement is not buffered when painting as it is assumed it will be changing. Set the ActiveSVGElement to tell the control which element or group of elements need to be redrawn every paint event.

The non-active svg elements are rendered either to the     Background or     Foreground Buffer.

Align

Represents property Align.

Anchors

Represents property Anchors.

Background

Contains the static background of the SVG compared to the   ActiveSVGElement, i.e. the SVG elements that are rendered behind the ActiveSVGElement. The Background and Foreground are painted once from the SVG. When elements in the ActiveSVGElement group change, the Background and Foreground are not rendered again, significantly speeding up painting of the entire SVG.

Buffered

Specifies whether to draw the SVG to a backbuffer and then copy that image to the canvas (default) or to draw directly on the canvas

Set the Buffered property to false to draw directly on the image canvas. This is generally not recommended, however, it may look better on mobile devices

ClipChildren

Represents property ClipChildren.

ClipParent

Represents property ClipParent.

Cursor

Represents property Cursor.

Decoration

Defines the shape to use as a decoration for the instrument. The decoration can be pre-defined paths or a custom path. Use   DecorationFillColor and   DecorationStrokeColor to customize the colors of the decoration.

DecorationFillColor

Specifies the fill color for the decoration

DecorationID

Specifies the ID of the element in the SVG that contains the   Decoration for the instrument.

DecorationPath

Provides access to the path data for the decoration. If the Decoration element does not exist in the SVG, this property does nothing and returns nil.

DecorationStrokeColor

Specifies the stroke or pen color of the decoration

Design

Use the Design property to quickly switch between detailed and simpler versions of the instrument. The simple option removes extra detail (such as bevels, glass look, shadows, bolts or screws, etc) in the gauge to provide a more basic and faster to draw version of the gauge.

The Design and EnableGradients properties are holistic-type properties which rapidly change the entire look of the instrument.

DragMode

Represents property DragMode.

Enabled

Represents property Enabled.

EnableDragHighlight

Represents property EnableDragHighlight.

EnableGradients

Use the EnableGradients property to remove gradients from the gauge and use solid colors instead. This option improves speed when drawing the component, and gives gauges a generally flatter look.

The Design and EnableGradients properties are holistic-type properties which rapidly change the entire look of the instrument.

Foreground

Contains the static foreground of the SVG compared to the   ActiveSVGElement, i.e. the SVG elements that are rendered in front of the ActiveSVGElement. The Background and Foreground are painted once from the SVG. When elements in the ActiveSVGElement group change, the Background and Foreground are not rendered again, significantly speeding up painting of the entire SVG.

FormatStr

Defines the format of floating point numbers that are displayed in text elements within the gauge. Change this property to change how numbers are displayed (e.g., significant digits)

Height

Represents property Height.

HitTest

Represents property HitTest.

LightColor

Specifies the color of the light for the instrument. Change the light color to give the instrument a slight color cast.

Locked

Represents property Locked.

Margins

Represents property Margins.

NeedBuffers

Controls whether the Background and Foreground need to be rendered again in the Buffered paint process. Set the NeedBuffers property to True to force the buffers to be redrawn at the next paint event. (Inherited from FMX.RS.SVGControl.TRSSVGControl.)

OnChange

OnDrawn

Occurs just after a SVG element is drawn. The event fires after drawing the current element and its children but before the canvas is returned to its initial state. (Inherited from FMX.RS.SVGControl.TRSSVGControl.)

RotationAngle

Represents property RotationAngle.

RotationCenter

Represents property RotationCenter.

Scale

Represents property Scale.

ShadowColor

Returns the color to use for shadows in the instrument. This color is calculated from the FMX.RS.Impact.Instruments.TRSSVGCustomInstrument.LightColor property.

Stretch

Defines if the control draws the SVG stretched to the complete bounds of the control (True) or draws the SVG to the maximum dimensions while respecting the aspect ratio of the SVG (False). (Inherited from FMX.RS.SVGControl.TRSSVGControl.)

SVG

Contains the SVG that paints the appearance of the control. The control changes the SVG elements based on requirements of the control. For example, a descendant control could change a specific element's fill and stroke based on a Color property change. (Inherited from FMX.RS.SVGControl.TRSSVGControl.)

TabOrder

Represents property TabOrder.

TouchTargetExpansion

Represents property TouchTargetExpansion.

Visible

Represents property Visible.

Width

Represents property Width.

AfterConstruction

Represents method AfterConstruction.

ChangeGradientColor(TSVGCustomGradient,TSVGColor,Boolean)

Overloaded.  Attempts to modify a gradient color scheme to a similar color scheme using NewColor, i.e., if a gradient has 3 gradient stops of dark gray, gray, white and the NewColor is Red, the method will try to change the gradient to red, lighter red, and white.

The FromFirst parameter specifies if the first or the last gradient stop is the base color to replace. The base color is replaced with the NewColor unchanged. All other gradient stops are modified from the base color.

ChangeGradientColor(TSVGCustomGradient,TSVGColor,Integer)

Overloaded.  Attempts to modify a gradient color scheme to a similar color scheme using NewColor, i.e., if a gradient has 3 gradient stops of dark gray, gray, white and the NewColor is Red, the method will try to change the gradient to red, lighter red, and white.

The BaseColorIndex parameter specifies if which gradient stop is the base color to replace. The base color is replaced with the NewColor unchanged. All other gradient stops are modified from the base color.

DoEnableGradient(String,String,Boolean,TSVGColor,Boolean)

Helper method for changing a SVG element's color between a gradient or a solid color.

The IsEnabled parameter specifies whether to set the element to the gradient or the solid color.

The IsBrush parameter specifies whether to change the element's brush or pen properties.

DoEnableGradients(Boolean)
