Radial GaugeThese gauges are normally used to represent a quantifiable process progressing through the possible range displayed on a scale with a circular or semi circular aspect.
Horizontal/Vertical GaugesThese gauges are normally used to represent the progress of a process or a specific value within a continuous range. There are various border styles available for customizing the gauges for your application needs. Vertical Gauges are similar to Horizontal gauges and offer a wide range of unique applications, for example they could be used to represent a thermometer.
Digital PanelDigital panels are used for both numeric and alphanumeric displays. These panels are commonly prevalent in the world such as watches, registrars, information kiosks, alarm clocks, etc. There are three common styles of digital panels, two segment based and one LED based. The two segment based digital panels are usually referred to by the number of segments necessary to compose a character or digit.
AJAXYou can use the AJAX technique to update images without refreshing the entire page. For example a user could type text in an entry box and this could be displayed as a "Ticker" using a horizontal gauge or they could select a value from a drop down list and this could automatically update a radial gauge.
GuidelinesYou can simulate guidlines by using vertical and horizontal gauges. In the above example the Draggable property of the MainIndicator allows users to change the value and move a guideline over the picture.
Scales and StripesScales: Each radial gauge may be accompanied by one or more scales to display a range of values and labels. Stripes: Each scale can have one or more stripes allowing you to highlight a specific range of values within the scale. In the example above yellow and red stripes have been added to the radial gauge, the needle can change color as it passes over the stripes.
Markers and FillersEach scale can be accompanied with a marker or filler to highlight a specific value in the scale.
Real TimeReal time data values can be displayed using a combination of client JavaScript and server side bit-streaming. In the example above the systems time is being used.
Combination GaugesThere are various ways to intermix the gauges together via the InnerGauge property for customizing the gauge. Examples of inner gauges include a radial speedometer with a digital panel on the lower portion for displaying the miles driven while the radial gauge displays the current speed.
TickmarksGauges can display tick marks to reference values in the scale. Tick marks improve the readability and can be displayed as Major, Medium and Minor ticks in the scale.
Multiple ElementsThe above screenshot shows how it is possible to setup and locate multiple scales, needles and images. Any gauge element can be easily located in the drawing area based on a location relative to the border or to a specific Anchor point.
Complex Realistic GaugesCreate complex gauges by incorporating images, scales, colored stripes and any other gauge element. The above combination allows the creation of a realistic fire extinguisher gauge.
Inner GaugesIn this example a horizontal gauge has been combined with a DigitalPanel. The DigitalPanel will display the value of the horizontal gauge automatically without any code having to be written.
