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
