Yes. Now and again a Topic comes up that is a Masterclass . Worth having a File with these Gems in . I see this topic is being flagged as Solved . Will it ever be . It is certainly got good answers but it does not have them all . Perhaps it should be upgraded to a WiKi . Good to see you here .

As I mentioned earlier - FANTASTIC TUTORIAL. Now, is it possible to use this method (Bitmapped font, etc.) for a 28-day (or 29.5 day) moon phases? It seems like it should be, but I’ve been trying and I’m dizzy. I have a friend who’s done some great 28-day moons, but WFS doesn’t copy and paste politely, so I thought I would try to build one. Not so much. Thanks.

Sorry to chip in here on one of my Favourite subjects . What a good idea . If you use the formula .
(floor([MOON_PO]))
And you images are numbered 0 to 27 starting with the new moon . there is no reason that should no work . However the question is a bit off topic . Since this is a Masterclass on a Specific subject it might be best you start a New one . I get this often . I am not bothered but The Forum seems to be . May be we can start a new topic about Bit Mapped Font Stuff and make it a WiKi .

I’ve never find moon phases interesting so I didn’t try it.
russellcresser is on the right track
but
I don’t think it will work because with
[MOON_PO]
returned values are not whole numbers
- 0-0.5: New moon
- 0.5-6.5: Evening crescentnt
- 7: First quarterer
- 7.5-13.5: Waxing gibbousus
- 14: Full moonon
- 14.5-20.5: Waning gibbousus
- 21: Last quarterer
- 21.5-27.5: Morning crescentnt
- 27.5-28: New moon
It should work with
MOON_TY
This tag returns values in whole numbers, 1-7.
- 0: New moon
- 1: Evening crescent
- 2: First quarter
- 3: Waxing gibbous
- 4: Full moon
- 5: Waning gibbous
- 6: Last quarter
- 7: Morning crescent
Interesting question and nice addition to Guide.

Note If [MOON_PO] Is floored it then counts in integers 0 to 27 .

Yes, you are correct, as always!
I’ve missed that you’ve floored them.
Now we have 2 solutions. Nice!

Thanks to both of you. Yes, Russell got it with FLOOR.

Oh, not always correct by any means. I get lots of help from Russ and Jeff. I am pleased with how this one turned out though.

If you want to share a WFS file with us here . Add .ZIP too the end of the File name . I call this a Fake ZIP . It fools the Forum to send it . Then we just Delete the .ZIP and it opens fine .
For example .

Haven’t figured out how to rename a bitmap font yet.

That will be it then. I had edited the default one that already exists rather than creating a new one. I had played with adding new but not completed when I didn’t see a Name field. Thanks.
