Advanced parameters for configuring FastVirtual's counter system. Please
see the Counter Guide for instructions on
using these parameters.
If no parameter value is specified, then the default value is
applied.
| Parameter |
Description |
Explanation |
Default Value |
| display=X |
Specifies what to display |
Values for the display
parameter can be counter, clock or date. |
display=counter |
| timezone=X |
Apply timezone offset to
time or date stamps |
The timezone parameter
only applies if the display parameter is set to clock or date. Use this parameter
to display the time or date from another time zone. The timezone
value
must be specified with a positive or negative four digit offset from
GMT (i.e. timezone=GMT-0400 or timezone=GMT+0230). The counter
system cannot automatically apply daylight saving time, so this
should be allowed for when setting a timezone value. |
None |
| tformat=X |
Time format in 12 or 24
hour |
Displays time in 12 or
24 hour format. Values for the
tformat parameter are 12 or 24. |
tformat=12 |
| dformat=X |
Date format |
The dformat parameter only
applies if the display parameter is set to date. Values for the
dformat parameter are MMDDYY in any order (i.e. dformat=MMDDYY, or
dformat=YYMMDD). |
dformat=MMDDYY |
| ft=X |
Border thickness |
Places a border around
the counter. A 0 value means no border. Values over 5 create a 3D
effect. |
ft=6 |
| frgb=R;G;B |
Border color |
Specifies the color of the
border (in RGB or Hex). If you specify the ft parameter without
the frgb parameter, the default color is applied. If you specify
the frgb parameter without the ft parameter, the border thickness
defaults to 5. The color can be specified in RGB or Hex. Hex
strings should not include a preceding "#" (i.e. to specify white
in Hex, enter frgb=ffffff). You also can enter a
color name (i.e. frgb=blue) to retrieve the applicable hex string. |
frgb=100;139;216
or
frgb=648bd8 |
tr=B
|
Transparency |
Specifies whether to
apply a transparent color to the counter image. Transparency set
in a .gif image is ignored. You must specify the tr parameter to
apply transparency. A Y value means transparency should be
applied. The default color (black) will be applied unless you
specify the trgb parameter. Values for the Boolean tr parameter
are Y, N, T, F, 1 or 0. |
tr=F
No Transparency |
| trgb=R;G;B |
Transparency color |
Specifies a color to
make transparent (in RGB). If the trgb parameter is specified, you
do not need to specify the tr parameter. |
None |
| md=X |
Number of digits |
Specifies the number of
digits to display. Values for the md parameter are 5 through 10.
Shorter numbers are automatically padded with leading zeros.
Longer numbers are truncated to the specified digits. |
md=6
Without padding |
| pad=B |
Padding with leading
zeros |
Specifies whether to pad
digits with leasing zeros if the md parameter is specified. Values for the Boolean
pad parameter B are Y,
N, T, F, 1, or 0. |
pad=N
Without specification of a md=value
pad=Y
With specification of a md=value |
| dd=A |
Digit style |
Specifies which generic digit
style should be applied in addition to the image styles. Values
for the dd parameter are A through
E. |
dd=A
Green LED digits |
| comma=B |
Display comma after every
3rd digit from right |
Specifies whether to
place a comma after every third digit from the right. Specifying
this Boolean parameter will automatically disable any padding
settings. |
comma=F |
| chcolor=B |
Change a color of the image |
This parameter enables the
following srgb and prgb parameters, which allow you to change a
color in the digit image. |
chcolor=F |
srgb=R;G;B
prgb=R;G;B |
Target color to change
and new color |
If the chcolor parameter
value is set to T, any single color of the image
can be changed to a different color using the srgb and prgb
parameters. srgb is the image color to be changed, and prgb is the
new color to use. Colors should be entered in RGB or Hex (i.e.
srgb=255;255;255 or srgb=ffffff). |
srgb=00ff00
(0;255;0 green)
prgb=00ffff
(0;255;255 cyan)
With chcolor=T |
| sh=B |
Show digits |
Specifies whether to
display or hide the counter digits. The default value T will
display and increment the counter. An F value will hide the
digits, but the counter will still increment. When the digits are
hidden, a transparent 1x1 pixel .gif file acts as a placeholder.
Values for the Boolean sh parameter are Y, N, T, F, 1, or 0. |
sh=Y |
| incr=B |
Increment Count |
The incr parameter
enables you to display
the counter without incrementing the count. This can be used
to access the counter for analysis without adding
to the count. Values for the Boolean incr parameter are Y, N, T,
F, 1, or 0. |
incr=T
Increment the counter on each invocation |
| lit=X |
Display literal |
The lit parameter
enables you to display
a literal, predetermined string. Values for the lit parameter are
digits, a, p, : and -. |
None |
| negate=B |
Negate the color |
The negate parameter
enables you to negate
the color of the counter digits. The border is not affected by
this parameter. Values for the Boolean negate parameter are Y, N, T, F,
1, or 0. |
None |
| degrees=X |
Rotate X degrees |
The degrees parameter
enables you to rotate
the counter image. Values for the degrees parameter are 90, 180, 270
and 360 (although a value of 360 is pointless, as it will rotate
the counter back to its original position). |
degrees=270
With rotate=Y and without degrees=X
rotate 270 degrees clockwise |
| rotate=B |
Rotate On/Off |
The rotate parameter
toggles counter image rotation between on and off. If you use the degrees
parameter, the rotate parameter is not required.
Values for the Boolean rotate parameter are Y, N, T, F, 1, or 0. |
rotate=F
Do not rotate |
