Analog clock: lines and/or arcs

Jappie Toutenhoofd​​: this is the clock I scripted for your ‘challenge’ 😉 Not what I had in mind at first, but I like it. (Reposted, I forgot to choose the community)

Also, I’m not sure but I remember someone asking for something like this time ago. I don’t remember, but if you do and are reading this: sorry, here you have.

This is a binding to create an analog clock using lines or arcs. The binding is created so that you can easily change some parameters: radius where to draw, width of the lines, number to use, color to use and choose between lines or arcs. You can even add more or remove them.

The script contains the instructions to set it up. To ‘install’ it simply set it in the dummy binding of an item. A square item is recommended.

Note: it uses the normal background of the item, and will create one if there is none. But if it already has a non-square one set, the clock will probably be shown at an incorrect position. Simply remove it and let the script create the correct one

In the video it is shown the default script, the default with lines instead of arcs, and four examples for demonstration purpose. A digital clock is at the bottom to help understanding.

Clock bindings

I had fun writing them, use them if you want 🙂

(And yes Jappie Toutenhoofd​, this was because of your post too 😉

1) Custom number characters: a simple one changing the numbers (perhaps you remember them from my simple page indicator). You can use your own characters too.

2) Roman numbers: a funny one, the numbers are wrote with Roman numbers instead.

Note: for Roman reasons 00:00:00 is wrote as XXIV:LX:LX (24:60:60)

3) Binary: the usual binary clock, using those ‘box’ characters, but you can change them.

4) Random sums: the funniest and worst to read one. Each number is wrote as a random finite sum of random positive numbers (or 0). You have one second to guess the time XD (or you can remove the seconds and you will have a minute)
