Whiskey Compass: a question

I want to use this gauge in a plane I'm building, but the strip shows too low. How do I change that? Is it even possible?


The code:
<Gauge Name="kompas" Version="1.0">
<Image Name="kompas_background.bmp"/>

<!-- ======================= Compass Strip ======================= -->
<Element>
<Position X="19" Y="14"/>
<MaskImage Name="kompas_window.bmp">
<Axis X="40" Y="0"/>
</MaskImage>
<Image Name="kompas_strip.bmp">
<Axis X="167" Y="0"/>
<Nonlinearity>
<Item Value="0" X="300" Y="0"/>
<Item Value="360" X="35" Y="0"/>
</Nonlinearity>
</Image>
<Shift>
<Value>(A:Wiskey compass indication degrees,degrees) dnor</Value>
<Failures>
<GAUGE_KOMPAS Action="Freeze"/>
</Failures>
</Shift>
<Shift>
<Value Minimum="-15" Maximum="15">(A:ATTITUDE INDICATOR PITCH DEGREES,degrees) /-/</Value>
<Scale Y="1.0"/>
<Nonlinearity>
<Item Value=" 15" X="0" Y="-26"/>
<Item Value=" 0" X="0" Y="0"/>
<Item Value="-15" X="0" Y="26"/>
</Nonlinearity>
</Shift>


<Rotate>
<Value Minimum="-30" Maximum="30">(A:Turn coordinator ball,degrees) </Value>
<Delay DegreesPerSecond="30" />
</Rotate>

<!-- ======================= Shadow ============================= -->

Hello Cees
I'm not too familiar with XML gauges, so not sure that it has to be done, but you can try to increase the Y value:
<Element>
<Position X="19" Y="14"/>

Have a nice day, cheers

Thanks Martin. As they say: asking a question is answering that same question. I found a tutorial (simple) that explains xml gauge programming. And the value that must be increased is the other Y value:

<Element>
<Position X="19" Y="14"/>
<MaskImage Name="kompas_window.bmp">
<Axis X="40" Y="0"/>

Wonderfull Cees
I would be happy to know more about XML gauges, can you please send me the link to this tuto?

Cheers

Many thanks Cees
I dropped a quick eye on it, and it seems I'll find there an answer on how to do a 3D compass, reacting to pitch and bank, lovely!

Cheers
