The TRangeCircularGauge RangeCircularGauge control implements a circular gauge to specify colors according to the range of the primary variable. It defines the title, adds center text, links to a specific data value, and sets range start and end values. It customizes the gauge arc's start and sweep angles and sets the pointer type. The control configures the legend display, shape, and position. Users can define range segments, their start and end values, color, width, and rounding radius, and assign legend labels, allowing real-time data visualization and differentiation of gauge segments.

Configuration

The TRangeCircularGauge control implements a circular gauge with settings to specify colors according the range of the main variable

  1. Go to Displays / Draw.
  2. On the Components Panel, select Gauges, then RangeCircularGauge.
  3. Click or drag-and-drop it on the Drawing area to use it.
  4. Double-click the object to open the configuration window.

Range Circular Gauge Settings

Field

Description

Header

Defines the title of the gauge.

Header FontSize

Defines the font size of the header text, enabling customization of text appearance for readability.

Alignment

Determines the position of the header within the gauge, offering the following placement options:

Top: Positions the header at the center of the gauge's top boundary. This alignment places the text horizontally centered while ensuring it remains above the gauge components, making it suitable for a prominent title display.

Bottom: Places the header at the center of the gauge's bottom boundary. The text aligns horizontally at the gauge’s width midpoint, positioned at the lowest point to serve as a footer or additional information label.

TopLeft: Aligns the header at the top-left corner of the gauge. The text is positioned to align with the leftmost edge of the gauge, providing a corner placement that allows space for other gauge elements and UI components.

TopRight: Positions the header at the top-right corner of the gauge. The text aligns with the rightmost boundary while remaining at the top, ensuring that it does not interfere with other gauge elements. This placement is useful for right-aligned layouts.

BottomLeft: Places the header at the bottom-left corner of the gauge. The text aligns to the left side while being positioned at the bottom edge, offering a subtle and unobtrusive placement for contextual information.

BottomRight: Aligns the header at the bottom-right corner of the gauge. The text is positioned at the rightmost edge and bottom boundary, ensuring it complements right-aligned design elements and maintains a balanced visual structure.

Center Text

Allows the user to add text in the center of the gauge.

Linked Value

Links a specific data value or source to the gauge.

Range Start

Defines the starting value of the gauge range. Set to 0, this establishes the minimum value the gauge can represent. Default is 0.

Range End

Specifies the ending value of the gauge range. Set to 100, this establishes the maximum value the gauge can represent. Default is 100.

Start Angle

Determines the starting angle of the gauge arc. Set to 135 degrees, this This customization allows the gauge to start at a specified point on the circle. Default is 135.

Sweep Angle

Defines the extent of the gauge arc in degrees. Set to 270 degrees, this This determines how much of the circle the gauge will cover. Default is 270.

Pointer Type

Defines the type of pointer used in the gauge (e.g., RangePointer). Customizes the pointer style.

NeedlePointer: This pointer type represents the data value with a needle-like indicator. It is commonly used to provide a precise and clear indication of the current value on the gauge.

RangePointer: This pointer type highlights a range on the gauge. It is useful for visualizing a span of values rather than a single point, allowing users to see the current range of interest.

SymbolPointer: This pointer type uses a symbol to indicate the data value.

It can be customized with different symbols to suit various applications and visual preferences.

Legend

Enables the legend display.

Legend Shape

Defines the legend shape from: (Triangle, Circle, Diamond, or Rectangle).

Position

Defines the legend position from: Auto, Bottom, Left, Right, Top.

Auto: Automatically positions the legend based on the available space and layout.

Bottom: Positions the legend at the bottom of the gauge.

Left: Positions the legend to the left of the gauge.

Right: Positions the legend to the right of the gauge.

Top: Positions the legend at the top of the gauge.

Range

Indicates the specific range segment. Users can enable or disable each range by marking the checkbox next to the range entry.

Range Start and End

Defines the starting and ending values for each range segment. This setting determines the minimum and maximum values for each color segment of the gauge.

Color

Specifies the color for each range segment. This setting allows users to visually differentiate between various segments of the gauge.

Start and End Width

Defines the width of the start and end points of each range segment. This setting determines the thickness of the segment boundaries on the gauge.

Rounded

Determines if the ends of each range segment are rounded. Users can specify the rounding radius.

Legend

Allows users to assign a legend label to each range segment. This setting helps in identifying the purpose of each color segment on the gauge.



Runtime Execution 

In RuntimeDuring runtime, the control has embedded controls to allow the Operator to modify the view. Typically the configuration settings of <> is attached to a Tag exposed in the  Display User Interface, allowing the operator to select <.>.RangeCircularGauge control visualizes data by displaying a range of colors that correspond to the values of the primary variable. The control allows users to set titles, center text, and link the gauge to a specific data value. Users can also customize the gauge’s arc by adjusting the start and sweep angles, as well as the pointer type. The control offers configuration options for the legend, including display, shape, and position. Range segments are defined by users, who can set their start and end values, color, width, and rounding radius. Legend labels can be assigned to these segments, facilitating the differentiation and real-time visualization of data within the gauge.
