Linear Gauge widget
The widget displays a pointer value in a graphical format between a minimum and maximum value. The gauge can display horizontally or vertically.
The pointer indicates the selected value on the gauge by color code. You can add colored ranges to the gauge. Each range can have a different color to represent specific targets. For example:
- Below the lower specification limit: blue
- Between the lower specification limit and the upper specification limit: green
- Above the upper specification limit: red
The gauge range is determined based on the value specified in the Unit section.
The Linear Gauge must be set to a value greater than 0. For example, selecting a unit value of 10 displays the range from 0 to 100 in increments of 10.
You can specify this information in the Configure Linear Gauge Widget section on the Widget Builder screen:
