GaugeStyle
is an option for gauge functions that specifies styles in which the markers are to be drawn.
Details

- GaugeStyle->g specifies that a graphics directive g should be used to draw all the marker objects in a plot.
- GaugeStyle->{g1,g2,…} specifies that successive directives gi should be used cyclically for successive marker objects.
- The directives that can be given include:
-
Dashing[{w1,…}] dashing specification Directive[g1,g2,…] composite graphics directive EdgeForm[g] edge-drawing specification FaceForm[g] face-drawing specification GrayLevel[i] intensity Hue[h] hue Opacity[a] opacity PointSize[d] point size Red, Blue, etc. named colors RGBColor[r,g,b] RGB color Thickness[w] line thickness - GaugeStyle can apply to points, lines, and surfaces in the objects specified as markers.
- GaugeStyle->None specifies that the marker in a gauge should not be drawn.
- GaugeStyle->{gbelow,gabove} specifies that directive gbelow should be used to draw cumulative markers below the marker value and gabove above.
- GaugeStyle->scheme generates styles from ColorData[scheme,…].
- For cumulative markers, the setting GaugeStyle->g will be interpreted as {g,None} and not draw any markers above the marker value.
Examples
Basic Examples (6)
AngularGauge and related functions will automatically style multiple gauge markers:
Explicitly style different markers:
Specify different styles for different markers:
Use built-in colors to style the markers:
Explicitly style the region below and above the marker value:
