JavaScript/jQuery LinearGauge Options
animation
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.
- $(function() {
- $("#linearGaugeContainer").dxLinearGauge({
- // ...
- animation: {
- easing: "linear",
- duration: 500
- }
- });
- });
containerBackgroundColor
Set this property to the color of the parent page element. Certain elements of the UI component 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 property supports the following colors:
- Hexadecimal colors
- RGB colors
- RGBA colors
- Predefined/cross-browser color names
- Predefined SVG colors
- Paint server address
elementAttr
Specifies the global attributes to be attached to the UI component's container element.
export
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.

rangeContainer
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.
redrawOnResize
Specifies whether to redraw the UI component when the size of the container changes or a mobile device rotates.
rtlEnabled
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.
- DevExpress.config({
- rtlEnabled: true
- });
scale
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 properties are available in the scale configuration object.
size
Specifies the UI component's size in pixels. The default value depends on the component's orientation.
The default size of the component depends on the geometry.orientation property value:
- {
- height: 100,
- width: 300
- }
- {
- height: 300,
- width: 100
- }
You can specify a custom width and height for the component:
Fixed | Relative |
---|---|
Assign values to the size object's height and width properties or specify a container for the component. | Specify a container for the component. The component occupies the container area. |
Assign 0 to the size object's height and width properties to hide the component.
- $(function() {
- $("#linearGaugeContainer").dxLinearGauge({
- // ...
- size: {
- height: 300,
- width: 600
- }
- });
- });
Alternatively, you can use CSS to style the UI component's container:
- $(function() {
- $("#linearGauge").dxLinearGauge({
- // ...
- });
- });
- #linearGauge {
- width: 85%;
- height: 70%;
- }
subvalueIndicator
The LinearGauge UI component 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 property, and then specify the properties that are specific to this type, if needed. To learn the properties that can be specified for a particular type, refer to one of the following sections.
subvalues
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 property 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.
theme
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.
title
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.
value
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 property description for more information.
