GaugeMarkers

GaugeMarkers
is an option for gauge functions that specifies what markers to draw to mark the values.

DetailsDetails

  • GaugeMarkers->None turns the markers off.
  • With GaugeMarkers->{g1, ..., gn}, the are used cyclically for successive values.
  • A list of built-in settings for GaugeMarkers can be obtained from ChartElementData["AngularGauge", "Markers"]. A visual gallery is available in the Chart Element Schemes palette.
  • GaugeMarkers can take the following forms:
  • "name"named marker appearance
    Graphics[...],Graphics3D[...],Image[...],...graphic or image to be used for a marker
    ChartElementData["name",...]chart element function
    Noneomit the marker for value
    fpure function for creating a gauge element
    {marker1,marker2,...}use for the i^(th) value
    Placed[spec,location]place the markers in spec at location
  • GaugeMarkers supports the following locations inside Placed:
  • "Center"center of the dial face
    "DivisionCenter"cumulative markers centered on division marks
    "DivisionInterval"cumulative markers between division marks
    "Scale"within the scale region
    "OutsideScale"outside the scale region
    "InsideScale"inside the scale region
    "ScaleRange"cumulative marker within the scale region
    "Frame"within the dial frame
  • GaugeMarkers->f specifies that each gauge marker should be rendered with the graphics primitives given by .
  • In GaugeMarkers->f, the region argument to f is given as follows:
  • AngularGauge,ClockGauge{{min,max},{rmin,rmax}}
    HorizontalGauge,VerticalGauge,ThermometerGauge,BulletGauge{{xmin,xmax},{ymin,ymax}}
  • In GaugeMarkers->f, the values argument to f is given as follows for marker placements:
  • "Center","Scale","OutsideScale","InsideScale","Frame"value
    "ScaleRange"{region index,value}
    "DivisionCenter", "DivisionInterval"{{region index,subsection index},value}
