F3BarGauge

Welcome!

This demo contains the LED bar gauge control for iOS. It has been tested on iOS 6.x and 7.x on iTouch, iPhone, and iPad devices.

If you find this control of use (or find bugs), I'd love to hear from you! Drop a note to [email protected] with questions, comments, or dissenting opinions.

Background

This control is intended to replicate/simulate the level indicator on an audio mixing board. These indicators are usually segmented/stacked LEDs, with several colors to indicate thresholds. This control replicates that look, using Quartz drawing primitives, and auto-adjusts to horizontal or vertical orientation. Additionally, the colors, number of bars, peak hold, and other items are easily customized.

Usage

Adding this control to your XCode project is straightforward :

1. Add the F3BarGauge.h and F3BarGauge.m files to your project
2. Add a new blank subview to the nib, sized and positioned to match what the bar gauge should look like.
3. In the properties inspector for this subview, change the class to "F3BarGauge"
4. Add an outlet to represent the bar gauge
5. Update your code to set the value property as appropriate.

For more information have a look at the demo code, which has multiple examples including a version that customizes the with an LCD-style appearance.
