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() {
    $("#linearGaugeContainer").dxLinearGauge({
        // ...
        animation: {
            easing: "linear",
            duration: 500
        }
    });
});

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

Set this property to the color of the parent page element. Certain elements of the widget will use this color so that they coordinate with the page. Currently, different auxiliary separators use the container background color, so there is no need to set a custom color for them.

This option supports the following colors:

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

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.

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.

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.

For the purpose of more intelligible data visualization, you can combine values into ranges and color each range differently. For instance, you can indicate the range of warm and cold temperatures. To set the ranges, assign an array of objects defining the ranges to the ranges property of the rangeContainer configuration object. In addition, you can specify the orientation of the ranges relative to an invisible scale line, and an offset from this line using the rangeContainer properties.

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

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
});

To divide a scale, set its startValue and endValue properties. The scale's major and minor ticks will be calculated automatically. Major ticks will be shown by default. To show minor ticks, set their visible property to true. You can set custom major and minor tick intervals, show custom major and minor ticks, and format tick labels. These and other scale options are available in the scale configuration object.

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() {
    $("#linearGaugeContainer").dxLinearGauge({
        // ...
        size: {
            height: 300,
            width: 600
        }
    });

Alternatively, you can style the widget's container using CSS:

$(function() {
    $("#linearGauge").dxLinearGauge({
        // ...
    });
});

#linearGauge {
    width: 85%;
    height: 70%;
}

<dx-linear-gauge ...
    id="linearGauge">
</dx-linear-gauge>

#linearGauge {
    width: 85%;
    height: 70%;
}

<template>
    <DxLinearGauge ...
        id="linearGauge">
    </DxLinearGauge>
</template>

<script>
import DxLinearGauge from 'devextreme-vue/linear-gauge';

export default {
    components: {
        DxLinearGauge
    },
    // ...
}
</script>

<style>
#linearGauge {
    width: 85%;
    height: 70%;
}
</style>

import React from 'react';

import LinearGauge from 'devextreme-react/linear-gauge';

class App extends React.Component {
    render() {
        return (
            <LinearGauge ...
                id="linearGauge">
            </LinearGauge>
        );
    }
}
export default App;

#linearGauge {
    width: 85%;
    height: 70%;
}

The LinearGauge widget can display one main value and several subvalues. The gauge's main value and subvalues are indicated by special pointers. You can customize the appearance of these pointers using the valueIndicator and subvalueIndicator configuration objects correspondingly.

The subvalue indicator is a pointer, which designates an extra value on a scale. There are several types of subvalue indicators. Set the required one by using the type option, and then specify the options that are specific to this type, if needed. To learn the options that can be specified for a particular type, refer to one of the following sections.

• Circle
• RangeBar
• Rectangle
• Rhombus
• TextCloud
• TriangleMarker

In addition to one main value, you can indicate several extra values on a gauge. These are called subvalues. To specify the subvalues, assign an array with them to the subvalues field.

You can obtain and change the subvalues at runtime. In order to do this, use the subvalues() and subvalues(subvalues) methods. Note that in that case, you need to initialize the subvalues option at least with an empty array.

var gaugeOptions = {
    // ...
    subvalues: []    
}

Subvalues are designated by subvalue indicators. You can customize the appearance of these indicators using the subvalueIndicator configuration object.

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 indicator. A tooltip appears when the end-user hovers the cursor over an indicator. You can enable/disable tooltips, change their appearance and format their text using fields of the tooltip configuration object.

The main value is designated by the value indicator. To customize the appearance of the value indicator, use the valueIndicator configuration object.

You can obtain and change the gauge value at runtime. In order to do this, use the value() and value(value) methods.

Only one main value can be indicated on a gauge. Besides the main gauge value, you can indicate several extra values. Refer to the subvalues option description for more information.
