Working with a Clock Provider
Updated over 2 weeks ago

Use this provider to display the current time in a specific time zone. The Clock Provider doesn’t require an external source, simply add it to the Graphics Tree and place a Text Element as its child.

Here's an example!

(1) Add the Clock to the Graphics Tree.

(2) Configure the Time zone you want to use.

Creating a Clock

(1) The clock data must be bound to a Text Element to be rendered.

(2) There are two kinds of elements you can bind to your Clock: Time and Fragments.

(2.1) "Time" counts the total time.

(2.2) The "Fragments" render only a portion of the total time. Fragments are useful to build more custom Clocks, giving more freedom for layout.


Input & Output

(1) Date and time information can come in different formats and you need to identify the format being used and configure it from the Input. By default, the Timezone is set to UTC.

(2) Output defines how the Date will be displayed. You can adjust these settings to select the final format and Timezone for the Clock.
