Signal Bar Orientation . . .

[Blackfeet]

OK - this might not be possible, but if anybody knows how, somebody here will.

I have a horizontal signal bar that I use for signal strength, 5 bars = -80 down to 1 bar = -110 or so. The bar work right to left, as in when it goes from 5 bars to 4 bars, it loses the right most bar, etc. Make sense.

What I want to do is be able to "flip" that bar and make it lose the bars left to right. I have flipped the bar in GIMP, worked great, except now 1 bar = -80 and 5 bars = -110. The bars do increase from the far right, so the look is what I want, just not the correct functionality. I am toying with the idea of leaving it, just to be different, but if I can make it work right, why not.

Clear as mud? I'd appreciate anyone's assist on this.

Thanks . . .

It sounds like you flipped the entire composite image and now you should move the individual signal images into different places within the composite.

Thanks for the tip, however, can you be more specific as to where I should move them to, please? I am not sure where they would need to be within the image.

You cannot simply reverse the whole image. You will need to flip each of the sub images and put it back in the composite image again.

OK - just to make sure I understand this - I can cut, flip, and reinsert the image in the sub-image in the same spot and that will accomplish what I am trying to do?

[cavingjan]

you are correct

Looks like I have something to do during the game today. Thanks!

I must be dense . . .

I spent 3 hours on this today, trying every combination of flipping the individual icons, the whole thing, parts of parts of parts, and got no where.

I am using Gimp, but that doesn't mean I know how to use it, and I gotta wonder what I am missing. I am sure I am missing a step somewhere, but have no idea at what step.

Anyone know if there is a tutorial that will guide me through making one from scratch with the orientation I am looking for?

Yea that's true
