The angle of a gauge can be changed with the Angle property.

For the full Gauge, Start and End Angle can be modified to change the range of the instrument as needed.

For the other Gauges, only the Start Angle can be modified. The End Angle will be calculated depending on the range of the gauge (270, 180 or 90 °).

Start Angle

The start angle of the meter can be defined with this property.

The start angle's 0° position is at 3 o clock.

Default value: 0°

Possible values: 0° ... 360°

See examples above

End Angle

The end angle of the meter can be defined with this property.

The start angle's 0° position is at 3 o clock.

Default value: 0°

Possible values: 0° ... 360°

See examples above

Deflection Direction

Default value: ClockWise

Possible values: ClockWise or AntiClockWise

Needle Color (Theme dependent)

With this property the color of needle can be defined.

Note: This property has no effect if a Needle Image is used.

Note: See also common properties Color Above Maximum and Color Below Minimum which also have an influence on the needle color.

Possible values: Any 24Bit ARGB color

Needle Image (Theme dependent)

Instead of the automatically drawn needle, a needle image can be assigned to the gauge to show a different kind of indicator.

The needle image should have the same size as the gauge and the needle in the image should always point to the 3 o'clock position.

Note that the image will be rotated around its center, so place the needle accordingly.

Example needle image:

Default value: No image

Possible values: Any image with supported format (bmp, jpeg, png, svg)

Note: To make the needle image look good when rotated, it is recommended to use scalable vector images (SVG). This prevents steps or anti aliasing artifacts.
