jQuery CircularGauge - rangeContainer

Specifies gauge range container properties.

Type:

Object

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.

backgroundColor

Specifies a range container's background color.

Type:

String

Default Value: '#808080'

The background color is used to indicate the area reserved for the range container in the gauge. This color is replaced with the colors of the ranges contained in the range container.

This property supports the following colors:

offset

Specifies the offset of the range container from an invisible scale line in pixels.

Type:

Number

Default Value: 0

orientation

Specifies the orientation of the range container in the CircularGauge UI component.

Type:

String

Default Value: 'outside'
Accepted Values: 'center' | 'inside' | 'outside'

This property specifies the range container's orientation relative to the invisible scale line.

When setting up a range container, apply the required orientation first to check that the result responds to your needs. Then, set the required offset from the invisible scale line to shift the range container.

palette

Specifies the palette to be used for colorizing ranges in the range container.

Type:

Array<String>
