ScaleOrigin
is an option for gauge functions that describes how to position the scale on the gauge.
Details

- In gauges with linear axes, ScaleOrigin can take the following values using the default vertical scale orientation for reference:
-
r horizontal postion of the scale of the scale Left,Right,Bottom,Top on which side of the face to center the scale axis {ymin,ymax} vertical locations of min and max for the scale {horizontal,vertical} horizontal and vertical locations for the scale - In gauges with circular axes, ScaleOrigin can take the following values:
-
r radius of the scale Left,Right,Bottom,Top on which side to center the scale {θmin,θmax} angular locations of min and max for the scale {angle,r} angular and radial origins for the scale
Examples
Basic Examples (4)
Use ScaleOrigin to specify a horizontal or radial offset for the scale:
Specify endpoint positions or angles for the scale:
Use a relative location for the center of the scale:
Specify a horizontal position and vertical extent for the scale:
