Specifying settings for Angular gauges
When using the Specify Gauge Settings dialog box to create and configure gauges, the settings on the Angular tab are used only when the gauge type is AngularGauge and control how these types of gauges display.
When modifying a gauge by script, use the GaugeSetProperty method or the GaugeGetProperty method to make these settings. Use the GaugeProperty enumeration.
This table lists the basic settings you can make on the Angular tab. GaugeSetProperty and GaugeGetProperty property names are also listed.
| Angular tab Fields / Options | Property name | Description / Comments |
|---|---|---|
| Gauge Start Angle | GaugeStartAngle | Specify the angle
of degrees from which the gauge starts drawing, from -360 to 360.
The default value is 0. |
| Gauge End Angle | GaugeEndAngle | Specify the angle
of degrees at which the gauge ends, from -360 to 360.
The default value is 180. |
| Value Below Pivot | ValueBelowPivot | When selected, this option displays the value below the pivot point. |
| Pivot Radius | PivotRadius | Specify the radius of the pivot, in pixels. |
| Pivot Fill Color | PivotFillColor | Specify the RGB
value for the pivot fill color, as a hexadecimal value (000000-FFFFFF).
You can double-click to display the Color dialog box, where you can select a color or define a custom color for the pivot fill. The hexadecimal code displays after you click to exit the Color dialog box. To use a gradient fill, specify all the colors required for the gradient fill, separated by commas. |
| Pivot Fill Alpha | PivotFillAlpha | For each color
specified for the
Pivot Fill Color,
specify the transparency of the background, from 0 (transparent) to 100
(opaque).
Where multiple values are used for gradients, separate the alpha values by commas. |
| Pivot Fill Angle | PivotFillAngle | Specify the angle in degrees of the gradient fill, from 0 to 360. |
| Pivot Fill Type | PivotFillType | Specify the
gradient fill type. Valide values include:
|
| Pivot Fill Mix | PivotFillMix | Specify a
gradient mix formula for the pivot fill. The formula can include any
combination of these values, using a list separated by commas:
|
| Pivot Fill Ratio | PivotFillRatio | Specify a
gradient fill ratio for the gauge, as comma separated numbers (percentages).
This ratio determines how far the color spreads before it is mixed with the next color to form a gradient. Separate the ratio values by commas, for example: 60,20,20. The sum of the ratios must equal 100, and the number of ratios in the list must equal the number of colors you specify in the Gauge Fill Mix. The system maps each ratio to the corresponding color in the mix. |
| Show Pivot Border | ShowPivotBorder | When selected, this option displays a border around the pivot. |
| Pivot Border Thickness | PivotBorderThickness | Specify, in pixels, the thickness of the border. |
| Pivot Border Color | PivotBorderColor | Specify the RGB
value for the pivot border color, as a hexadecimal value (000000-FFFFFF).
You can double-click to display the Color dialog box, where you can select a color or define a custom color for the pivot border. The hexadecimal code displays after you click to exit the Color dialog box. |
| Pivot Border Alpha | PivotBorderAlpha | Specify the transparency of the pivot border, from 0 (transparent) to 100 (opaque). |
| Gauge Outer Radius | GaugeOuterRadius | Specify the outer radius for the color range scale, in pixels or as a percentage of the outer radius. |
| Gauge Inner Radius | GaugeInnerRadius | Specify the inner radius for the color range scale, in pixels or as a percentage of the inner radius. |
