LinearGauge

New in version 5.0

LinearGauge ( appearanceConst ; thickness ; themeID ; symbolOffset ; scaleLineOffset ; majorTickLabelOffset ; minorTickLabelOffset ; attachTickMarkToScaleEnds )

Argument	Type	Range	Default	Note
appearanceConst	int	0..127	default
thickness	num	0..10000	20%	Abs or rel in percent of plot area.
themeID	int	0..2	1
symbolOffset	num	-1000..1000	0
scaleLineOffset	num	-1000..1000	0
majorTickLabelOffset	num	-1000..1000	0
minorTickLabelOffset	num	-1000..1000	0
attachTickMarkToScaleEnds	int	0..1	off

Description

The position of a symbol is defined by entering the value in ChartData() . Values for multiple symbols are separated by a semicolon “;”. For example:

ChartData(56; /* Symbol1 at 56 */

17.5) /* Symbol2 at 17.5 */

The appearance of the symbol(s) can be controlled by the SymbolStyle() function; the appearance of the symbol labels by the functions LabelTexts() , LabelStyle() , LabelOptions() , LabelBackground() and LabelBackgroundOptions() . By using scale and axis functions the appearance of the scale can be controlled.

Legend and title are not supported in combination with linear meters.
