How do I create a plugin image and force it to be refreshed/redrawn every let's say, 500ms???

excuse me if i'm wrong but this feature is already done!
their:
<item type="pluginimage" x="50" y="8">
<imageid>image_test</imageid>
<refresh>100</refresh>
</item>

the refresh params will reload you picture every 100ms, you want 500ms? replace 100 by 500 :P

after your plugin must be able to remake the picture each time lcdinfo will ask for.
Henri know (a lot) better than me this

Agggghhh stupid me... I now only relize that it just calls virtual LCDBitmap* __stdcall getImage(int imageNo) each time it needs to refresh!!!

I was playing round with the virtual void __stdcall updateData(void) function

It's only the getImage() function that is called in which you first update the image and then return the pointer to the image. LCDInfo then checks if the image data has changed and updates it to lcd if needed.

I think you have the winamp2 plugin source where you could look for some example how the getImage() works ?

EDIT:
You figured it out :)
I now decided to strip the updateData() completely out of the interface until there comes use for it so it doesn't cause mixups anymore.

Are you sure about this... I update my line graph plugin in the getimage part... this seems to happen each time the set refresh rate happens because I can slow this down or speed it up!!!

Maybe I wasn't very clear on my words.

You can set the refresh interval in the screen definition file. Then getImage() is called using that interval and if the data returned by getImage() is different than it was last time getImage() was called then the new data is written to the lcd.
So it should work like you described.

EDIT:
And I'll also move this into the Plugin SDK forum as that's mostly what this topic is about.

Please also just check one thing in the code I send you... on the single border draw function I defined the bmp to be eg. 64 x 32 but I had to draw the border (0,0,63,32) :?: Width - 1 / Height - 1 else it doesn't display correctly??? Any thoughts...

I'll check this. For 64x32 bitmap the correct coordinates for border would be 0,0,63,31 I think.
0 to 63 = 64 pixels and 0 to 31 = 32 pixels.

I started implementing your class as the graph item. Simple graphing already works and next time I'll continue with it...
