Working with Linear WebGauges

Linear gauges consist of different components that work together to create visually impressive gauges. To create a Linear gauge, you will need to understand how the components specific to Linear gauges work.

Scales

The scale displays the range of values of your gauge. The Scales property includes various properties, including Labels , Markers and TickMarks .

Tick Marks

You can add tick marks to Linear gauges to display the values of the gauge’s scale.

The TickMarks property has two attributes:

  • Minor TickMarks

  • Major TickMarks

You can configure both of them to display 'ticks' at specific values. Major tick marks are usually larger than minor tick marks. They are configured to highlight every nth value on the scale.

Labels

Labels are numeric or text values that are used to represent the points of the scale. They are associated with the tick marks on the scale.

Markers

Markers are elements that point out values on a scale. In a Linear gauge, the Marker property has two attributes:

  • Needle marker — These are displayed as pointers that point to a value on the scale.

  • Bar marker — These are displayed as bars that have a start and end point on the scale.
