To make your gauge "live", enable animation for it by setting the enabled option of the animation object to true. In this instance, the gauge indicators will appear in motion. In addition, within the animation object, you can set an appropriate easing mode using the easing option and specify how long the animation should run using the duration option.

$(function() {
    $("#barGaugeContainer").dxBarGauge({
        // ...
        animation: {
            easing: "linear",
            duration: 500
        }
    });
});

<dx-bar-gauge ... >
    <dxo-animation
        easing="linear"
        [duration]="500">
    </dxo-animation>
</dx-bar-gauge>

BarGauge displays values in the form of several circular bars each placed on a separate track. Since a bar indicates a value, it occupies only a segment of this track. The remaining segment is drawn in the color specified by the backgroundColor option.

By default, all bars start from the beginning of the gauge's scale. If you need to draw them starting from a specific scale value, assign the required value to the baseValue option. In this instance, each bar will display the range from the baseValue to the corresponding value specified to this bar.

These features allow a user to export your widget into a document or print it. When exporting is enabled, the "Exporting/Printing" button appears in the widget. A click on it invokes a drop-down menu that lists exporting and printing commands. The following formats are supported for exporting into: PNG, PDF, JPEG, SVG and GIF.

Specify the startAngle and endAngle options of the geometry configuration object to customize the shape of the bar gauge's arc. This arc is drawn from the startAngle to the endAngle as illustrated by the following image.

Each gauge bar is accompanied by a label that usually displays the value of the bar. Use the options of the label object to customize the label's text, specify its format, font, and distance between the label and the bar.

To hide labels, use the label.visible option or assign false straight to the label option.

The legend is a component that helps a user identify bars. The legend contains several items, one per bar, each consisting of a colored marker and text showing the bar's argument.

You can make the legend visible by setting the legend.visible option to true.

When the widget is bound to a remote data source, it can display a loading indicator while data is loading.

To change the loading indicator's visibility, use the show option or the showLoadingIndicator() and hideLoadingIndicator() methods.

The widget notifies you of errors and warnings by passing messages to the browser console. Each message contains the incident's ID, a brief description, and a link to the Errors and Warnings section where further information about this incident can be found.

The onIncidentOccurred function allows you to handle errors and warnings the way you require. The object passed to it contains the target field. This field provides information about the occurred incident and contains the following properties:

• id
  The incident's ID. The full list of IDs can be found in the Errors and Warnings section.
• type
  The incident's type: "error" or "warning".
• args
  The argument of the incident's message. Depends on the incident. For example, it may be the name of the data source field that was specified incorrectly, or the name of the option that was not set properly.
• text
  The text passed to the browser's console. Includes the args content, if there is any.
• widget
  The name of the widget that produced the error or warning.
• version
  The used DevExtreme version.

This option accepts either the name of a predefined palette or an array of colors. The array can include the following colors:

• Hexadecimal colors
• RGB colors
• RGBA colors
• Predefined/cross-browser color names
• Predefined SVG colors

Use the VizPalette enum to specify this option when the widget is used as an ASP.NET MVC 5 Control or a DevExtreme-Based ASP.NET Core Control. This enum accepts the following values: Default, SoftPastel, HarmonyLight, Pastel, Bright, Soft, Ocean, Vintage, Violet, Carmine, DarkMoon, SoftBlue, DarkViolet, and GreenMist.

The following variants are available:

• "blend"
  Create a blend of two neighboring colors and insert it between these colors in the palette.

• "alternate"
  Repeat the full set of palette colors, alternating their normal, lightened, and darkened shades in that order.

• "extrapolate"
  Repeat the full set of palette colors, changing their shade gradually from dark to light.

View Demo

Use the VizPaletteExtensionMode enum to specify this option when the widget is used as an ASP.NET MVC 5 Control or a DevExtreme-Based ASP.NET Core Control. This enum accepts the following values: Blend, Alternate, and Extrapolate.

If you place the widget on a page that uses a tag modifying the path (<base>, <iframe>, etc.), some of the widget elements may get mixed up or disappear. To solve this problem, set the pathModified option to true.

• DevExpress.viz.refreshPaths()

When this option is set to true, the widget will be redrawn automatically in case the size of its parent window changes.

This option accepts values from the (0, 1) range.

Use the BarGaugeResolveLabelOverlapping enum to specify this option when the widget is used as an ASP.NET MVC 5 Control or a DevExtreme-Based ASP.NET Core Control. This enum accepts the following values: Hide and None.

When this option is set to true, the widget text flows from right to left, and the layout of elements is reversed. To switch the entire application/site to the right-to-left representation, assign true to the rtlEnabled field of the object passed to the DevExpress.config(config) method.

DevExpress.config({
    rtlEnabled: true
});

The widget occupies its container's entire area by default. Use the size object to specify the widget's size if it should be different from that of its container. Assign 0 to size object's height and width options to hide the widget.

$(function() {
    $("#barGaugeContainer").dxBarGauge({
        // ...
        size: {
            height: 300,
            width: 600
        }
    });

A theme is a widget configuration that gives the widget a distinctive appearance. Use can use one of the predefined themes or create a custom one. Changing the option values in the widget's configuration object overrides the theme's corresponding values.

Use the VizTheme enum to specify this option when the widget is used as an ASP.NET MVC 5 Control or a DevExtreme-Based ASP.NET Core Control. This enum accepts the following values: GenericLight, GenericDark, GenericContrast, GenericCarmine, GenericDarkMoon, GenericSoftBlue, GenericDarkViolet, GenericGreenMist, MaterialBlueLight, MaterialLimeLight, MaterialOrangeLight, MaterialPurpleLight, MaterialTealLight.

The widget's title is a short text that usually indicates what is visualized. If you need to specify the title's text only, assign it directly to the title option. Otherwise, set this option to an object with the text and other fields specified.

The title can be accompanied by a subtitle elaborating on the visualized subject using the title.subtitle object.

A tooltip is a miniature rectangle displaying the value of a gauge's bar. A tooltip appears when the end-user hovers the cursor over a bar. You can enable/disable tooltips, change their appearance and format their text using fields of the tooltip configuration object.

Apart from specifying an array of values when configuring the BarGauge widget, you can obtain this array at runtime using the values() method, and change it using the values(newValues) method.
