Specifying settings for Cylinder gauges
When using the “Specify Gauge Settings” dialog box to create and configure gauges, the settings on the “Cylinder” tab are used only when the gauge type is “Cylinder” 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 “Cylinder” tab. GaugeSetProperty and GaugeGetProperty property names are also listed.
| Cylinder tab Fields / Options | Property name | Description / Comments |
|---|---|---|
| Origin X
Origin Y |
CylOriginX
CylOriginY |
Specify the X and
Y coordinates for the bottom left portion of the cylinder. Coordinates are
given in pixels as measured from the lower left corner of the gauge component.
As “Origin X” increases, the cylinder is moved to the right. As “Origin Y” increases, the cylinder is moved upward. |
| Radius | CylRadius | Specify, in pixels, the radius of the cylinder. |
| Height | CylHeight | Specify, in pixels, the height of the cylinder. |
| Y Scale | CylYScale | Specify the units
of scaling, from 0 to 50, for the Y-scale perspective (vertical aspect of the
cylinder).
For example, by default, a cylinder appears as if you are looking at it from a somewhat elevated position, above the level of the cylinder itself. This is the equivalent of setting this option to about “30”. If you then set this option to “0”, the cylinder appears as if you are looking at it directly from the side, at the same level as the cylinder itself. If you set this option to “50”, the cylinder appears as if you are looking at it from about a 45 degree angle above the cylinder. |
| Fill Color | CylFillColor | Specify the RGB
value for the cylinder 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 cylinder fill. The hexadecimal code displays after you click “” to exit the “Color” dialog box. |
