I thought it was time that I tried to get to grips with calling multiple instances of a function via a settings table. I tried it out with something simple at first, and paying close attention to the ring meters script by londonali1010 as a reference here is the end result:



A script that generates indicator bars. While not groundbreaking I thought it might add to the tools of the conky maker :)

They are fully configurable and you can change:

• which output to display
• background color and alpha
• indicator color and alpha
• border color and alpha
• size
• position
• rotation

via a settings table

Go here for the code. I shall probably be making some modifications in the future.
I shall also post an annotated copy of the lua script and do my best to explain how the whole thing works
