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.
