Linear Gauge Controls allow the visualization of data ranges in a linear format. The customization includes setting gauge orientation, position, linked data, range start and end, scale direction, interval, size, stroke, labels visibility, size, stroke, ticks size, thickness, stroke, pointer type, thickness, stroke, and range segments.

Requirements
This component is Portable. It runs both on Windows and on Web Pages hosted in any platform.
Configurations
Linear Gauge configurations encompass settings for General, Scale, Labels, Ticks, Pointer, and Range. General settings include gauge orientation, positions, linked value, range start, and end values. Scale settings involve scale direction, interval, bar size, stroke, border color, and thickness. Label settings cover visibility, size, stroke, prefix, and postfix options. Tick settings define major and minor tick sizes, thickness, stroke, and the number of minor ticks per interval. Pointer settings determine the type, stroke, thickness, height, and width of the pointer. Range settings specify segments, start and end values, color, and boundary width.
General
Linear Gauge General Settings control the basic appearance and functionality of the gauge. These settings include orientation (horizontal or vertical), position relative to other elements (above or below), linking a specific data value or source (e.g., "Tag.Level"), and defining the starting and ending values of the gauge range (e.g., 0 to 100).
Linear Gauge General Settings | |
|---|---|
Field | Description |
Gauge Orientation | Sets the orientation of the gauge. Options include "Horizontal" and "Vertical," allowing the gauge to be displayed either horizontally or vertically. |
Gauge Positions | Sets the position of the gauge relative to other elements. Options include "Above" and "Below," determining whether the gauge appears above or below other components. |
Linked Value | Links a specific data value or source to the gauge. In this example, it is set to "Tag.Level," indicating the gauge will display real-time data from this source. |
Range Start | Defines the starting value of the gauge range. Set to 0, it establishes the minimum value the gauge can represent. |
Range End | Specifies the ending value of the gauge range. Set to 100, it establishes the maximum value the gauge can represent. |
Scale
Linear Gauge Scale Settings manage the scale's direction, interval, size, stroke, border color, and thickness. Users can set the scale direction to forward or backward, define intervals between scale markings, adjust the scale bar size and stroke width, and customize the border's color and thickness to enhance visual clarity.
Linear Gauge Scale Settings | |
|---|---|
Field | Description |
Scale Direction | Sets the direction of the scale. Options include "Forward," indicating a normal ascending scale, and potentially "Backward," which would indicate a descending scale. |
Scale Interval | Defines the interval between scale markings. Set to 100, this specifies the spacing of the major divisions on the scale. |
Scale Bar Size | Specifies the size of the scale bar. Set to 15, this determines the thickness or height of the scale bar. |
Scale Bar Stroke | Adjusts the stroke (outline) width of the scale bar. This setting influences the visual clarity and emphasis of the scale bar. |
Scale Bar BorderBrush | Defines the color of the scale bar border. The current setting is a shade of gray, which determines the visual appearance of the scale bar's border. |
Scale Bar Border Thickness | Specifies the thickness of the scale bar border. The setting "1,1,1,1" indicates uniform thickness on all sides, affecting the visual weight and prominence of the scale bar's border. |
Labels
Linear Gauge Labels Settings handle the visibility, size, stroke, prefix, and postfix of labels. Users can choose to show or hide labels, define their size, adjust the stroke color for emphasis, and add prefixes or postfixes to label values, allowing for clear and customized data representation.
Linear Gauge Labels Settings | |
|---|---|
Field | Description |
Labels Visibility | Sets the visibility of the labels. Options include "Visible" to show the labels or potentially "Hidden" to hide them. |
Label Size | Defines the size of the labels. Set to 15, this determines the font size of the text labels on the gauge. |
Label Stroke | Adjusts the stroke (outline) color of the labels. The current setting is a shade of gray, which affects the visibility and emphasis of the label text. |
Label Postfix | Adds a postfix to the label text. This field is currently empty, allowing the user to add a suffix to each label value if needed. |
Label Prefix | Adds a prefix to the label text. This field is currently empty, allowing the user to add a prefix to each label value if needed. |
Ticks
Linear Gauge Ticks Settings specify the dimensions and appearance of major and minor tick marks. These settings include the size, thickness, and stroke color of both major and minor ticks, and the number of minor ticks per interval, enabling precise and detailed scale gradations for better data readability.
Linear Gauge Ticks Settings | |
|---|---|
Field | Description |
Major Tick Size | Defines the size of the major ticks. Set to 15, this determines the length of the major tick marks on the gauge. |
Major Tick Thickness | Specifies the thickness of the major ticks. Set to 2, this determines the width of the major tick marks. |
Major Tick Stroke | Adjusts the stroke (outline) color of the major ticks. The current setting is a shade of gray, affecting the visibility and emphasis of the major tick marks. |
Minor Tick Size | Defines the size of the minor ticks. Set to 7, this determines the length of the minor tick marks on the gauge. |
Minor Tick Thickness | Specifies the thickness of the minor ticks. Set to 1, this determines the width of the minor tick marks. |
Minor Tick Stroke | Adjusts the stroke (outline) color of the minor ticks. The current setting is a shade of gray, affecting the visibility and emphasis of the minor tick marks. |
Minor Ticks Per Interval | Defines the number of minor ticks per interval. Set to 5, this specifies how many minor tick marks will appear between each pair of major tick marks, allowing for finer granularity. |
Pointer
Linear Gauge Pointer Settings determine the type and appearance of the gauge pointer. Users can choose between a bar pointer or symbol pointer, and adjust the stroke color and thickness for the bar pointer, or define the height, width, and stroke color for the symbol pointer, ensuring the pointer is clearly visible and fits the gauge design.
Linear Gauge Pointer Settings | |
|---|---|
Field | Description |
Pointer Type | Sets the type of pointer used in the gauge. Options include "Bar Pointer" and "Symbol Pointer." The current selection is "Bar Pointer," indicating a bar-shaped pointer. |
Bar Pointer Stroke | Adjusts the stroke (outline) color of the bar pointer. This option is available only if "Bar Pointer" is selected as the pointer type. |
Bar Pointer Thickness | Specifies the thickness of the bar pointer. This option is available only if "Bar Pointer" is selected as the pointer type. |
Symbol Pointer Height | Defines the height of the symbol pointer. This option is unlocked and available if "Symbol Pointer" is selected as the pointer type. |
Symbol Pointer Width | Defines the width of the symbol pointer. This option is unlocked and available if "Symbol Pointer" is selected as the pointer type. |
Symbol Pointer Stroke | Adjusts the stroke (outline) color of the symbol pointer. This option is unlocked and available if "Symbol Pointer" is selected as the pointer type. |
Range
Linear Gauge Range Settings configure specific segments of the gauge. Users can enable or disable each range segment, set the starting and ending values for each segment, assign different colors to segments, and define the start and end width of each segment's boundaries, allowing for distinct and visually segmented data representation.
Linear Gauge Range Settings | |
|---|---|
Field | Description |
Range | Indicates the specific range segment. The user can enable or disable each range by marking the checkbox next to the range entry. |
Range Start and End | Defines the starting and ending values for each range segment. This setting determines the minimum and maximum values for each color segment of the gauge. |
Color | Specifies the color for each range segment. This setting allows the user to visually differentiate between various segments of the gauge. |
Start and End Width | Defines the width of the start and end points of each range segment. This setting determines the thickness of the segment boundaries on the gauge. |
Runtime Execution
In Runtime, the control has embedded controls to allow the Operator to modify the view.
Typically the configuration settings of <> is attached to a Tag exposed in the Display User Interface, allowing the operator to select <. >.
