Vue CircularGauge Methods

This section describes methods that can be used to manipulate the widget.

beginUpdate()

Prevents the widget from refreshing until the endUpdate() method is called.

The beginUpdate() and endUpdate() methods prevent the widget from excessive updates when you are changing multiple widget settings at once. After the beginUpdate() method is called, the widget does not update its UI until the endUpdate() method is called.

dispose()

Disposes of all the resources allocated to the CircularGauge instance.

The following code disposes of an CircularGauge instance that corresponds to the element ID (or reference variable in Angular) and removes the element from the DOM:

jQuery
JavaScript
$("#myCircularGauge").dxCircularGauge("dispose");
$("#myCircularGauge").remove();
Angular
HTML
<dx-circular-gauge #circularGaugeVar id="myCircularGauge"></dx-circular-gauge>
TypeScript
import { ..., ViewChild } from "@angular/core";
import { DxCircularGaugeComponent } from "devextreme-angular";
// ...
export class AppComponent {
    @ViewChild("circularGaugeVar") circularGauge: DxCircularGaugeComponent;

    removeCircularGauge (e) {
        this.circularGauge.instance.dispose();
        document.getElementById("myCircularGauge").remove();
    }
}

element()

Gets the root widget element.

Return Value:

HTMLElement | jQuery

An HTML element or a jQuery element when you use jQuery.

...
let element = document.getElementById("myCircularGauge");
let instance = CircularGauge.getInstance(element) as CircularGauge;

// Non-modular approach
let element = document.getElementById("myCircularGauge");
let instance = DevExpress.viz.dxCircularGauge.getInstance(element);
