jQuery BarGauge Options

An object that defines configuration properties for the BarGauge UI component.

See Also

animation

Specifies animation properties.

Type: any

To make your gauge "live", enable animation for it by setting the enabled property 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 property and specify how long the animation should run using the duration property.

backgroundColor

Specifies a color for the remaining segment of the bar's track.

Type:

String

Default Value: '#e0e0e0'

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 property.

This property supports the following colors:

barSpacing

Specifies a distance between bars in pixels.

Type:

Number

Default Value: 4

baseValue

Specifies a base value for bars.

Type:

Number

Default Value: 0
Cannot be used in themes.

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 property. In this instance, each bar will display the range from the baseValue to the corresponding value specified to this bar.

disabled

Specifies whether the UI component responds to user interaction.

Type:

Boolean

Default Value: false
Cannot be used in themes.

elementAttr

Specifies the global attributes to be attached to the UI component's container element.

Type: any
Default Value: {}

endValue

Specifies an end value for the gauge's invisible scale.

Type:

Number

Default Value: 100
Cannot be used in themes.

export

Configures the exporting and printing features.

Type:

Object

These features allow a user to export your UI component into a document or print it. When exporting is enabled, the "Exporting/Printing" button appears in the UI component. 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.

geometry

Defines the shape of the gauge's arc.

Type:

Object

Specify the startAngle and endAngle properties 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.

GaugeGeometry ChartJS

label

Specifies the properties of the labels that accompany gauge bars.

Type:

Object

Each gauge bar is accompanied by a label that usually displays the value of the bar. Use the properties 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 property or assign false straight to the label property.

paletteExtensionMode

Specifies what to do with colors in the palette when their number is less than the number of bars in the gauge.

Type:

String

Default Value: 'blend'
Accepted Values: 'alternate' | 'blend' | 'extrapolate'

The following variants are available:

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

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

pathModified

Notifies the UI component that it is embedded into an HTML page that uses a tag modifying the path.

Type:

Boolean

Default Value: false
Cannot be used in themes.

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

See Also

redrawOnResize

Specifies whether to redraw the UI component when the size of the parent browser window changes or a mobile device rotates.

Type:

Boolean

Default Value: true
Cannot be used in themes.

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

NOTE
To redraw the UI component after the size of its container has changed, call the render() method of the UI component's instance.

relativeInnerRadius

Defines the radius of the bar that is closest to the center relatively to the radius of the topmost bar.

Type:

Number

Default Value: 0.3

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

resolveLabelOverlapping

Specifies how the UI component should behave when bar labels overlap: hide certain labels or leave them overlapped.

Type:

String

Default Value: 'hide'
Accepted Values: 'hide' | 'none'

rtlEnabled

Switches the UI component to a right-to-left representation.

Type:

Boolean

Default Value: false
Cannot be used in themes.

When this property is set to true, the UI component 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.

JavaScript
DevExpress.config({
    rtlEnabled: true
});
NOTE
In a right-to-left representation, SVG elements have the direction attribute with the rtl value. This might cause problems when rendering left-to-right texts. Use this property if you have only right-to-left texts.

size

Specifies the UI component's size in pixels.

Type:

Object

Default Value: undefined

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

startValue

Specifies a start value for the gauge's invisible scale.

Type:

Number

Default Value: 0
Cannot be used in themes.

theme

Sets the name of the theme the UI component uses.

Type:

String

Default Value: 'generic.light'
Accepted Values: 'generic.dark' | 'generic.light' | 'generic.contrast' | 'generic.carmine' | 'generic.darkmoon' | 'generic.darkviolet' | 'generic.greenmist' | 'generic.softblue' | 'material.blue.light' | 'material.lime.light' | 'material.orange.light' | 'material.purple.light' | 'material.teal.light'

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

Configures the UI component's title.

Type:

Object

|

String

The UI component'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 property. Otherwise, set this property 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.

tooltip

Configures tooltips.

Type:

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.

values

Specifies the array of values to be indicated on a bar gauge.

Type:

Array<Number>

Default Value: []
Raised Events: onOptionChanged
Cannot be used in themes.

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