Specifying settings for Bullet gauges
When using the “Specify Gauge Settings” dialog box to create and configure gauges, the settings on the “Bullet” tab are used only when the gauge type is “Bullet” 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 “Bullet” tab. GaugeSetProperty and GaugeGetProperty property names are also listed.
| Bullet tab Fields / Options | Property name | Description / Comments |
|---|---|---|
| Target Value | Not available | Specify the value that indicates the target. |
| Plot as Dot | PlotAsDot | When selected, this option displays the plot as a point, instead of a bar. |
| Plot Fill Percent | PlotFillPercent | Specify the
thickness of the value bar as a percentage of the total graph height/width.
This refers to the height of the bar in a horizontal bullet graph and the width of a bar in a vertical bullet graph. |
| Target Fill Percent | TargetFillPercent | Specify the
thickness of the target line as a percentage of the total graph height/width.
This refers to the height of the target line in a horizontal bullet graph and the width of the target line in a vertical bullet graph. |
| Plot Fill Color | PlotFillColor | Specify the RGB
value for the plot 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 plot 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. |
| Plot Fill Alpha | PlotFillAlpha | For each color
specified for the
“Plot 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. |
| Show Plot Border | ShowPlotBorder | When selected, this option displays a border around the bullet chart. |
| Plot Border Color | PlotBorderColor | Specify the RGB
value for the plot border color, as a hexadecimal value (000000-FFFFFF).

| Plot Border Thickness | PlotBorderThickness | Specify, in pixels, the thickness of the plot border. |
| Plot Border Alpha | PlotBorderAlpha | Specify the transparency of the plot border, from 0 (transparent) to 100 (opaque). |
| Target Color | TargetColor | Specify the RGB
value for the target 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 target. The hexadecimal code displays after you click “” to exit the “Color” dialog box. |
| Target Thickness | TargetThickness | Specify, in pixels, the thickness of the target. |
| Caption Padding | CaptionPadding | Specify a value, in pixels, to control the vertical space between the caption and the top of the gauge component. |
| Canvas Left Margin | CanvasLeftMargin | Specify the space, in pixels, between the gauge and the left margin. |
