Specifying settings for Linear gauges
When using the Specify Gauge Settings dialog box to create and configure gauges, the settings on the Linear tab are used only when the gauge type is HLinearGauge 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 Linear tab. GaugeSetProperty and GaugeGetProperty property names are also listed.
| Linear tab Fields / Options | Property name | Description / Comments |
|---|---|---|
| Pointer Radius | PointerRadius | Specify, in pixels, the radius of the pointer. |
| Pointer Back Color | PointerBgColor | Specify the RGB
value for the pointer background 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 pointer background. 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. |
| Pointer Back Alpha | PointerBgAlpha | For each color
you specified for the
Pointer Back Color,
specify the transparency of the background, from 0 (transparent) to 100
