Cairo Gauge Round Annotated

Requires Cairo to be installed

Shows a gauge like a car speedometer, which gauges some metric.

Any supported metric or unit can be used

<component type="cairo-gauge-round-annotated" metric="speed" units="mph" />

Size

Use size to change the size.

Max and Min Values

Use max and min to set maximum and minimum values.

<component type="cairo-gauge-round-annotated" metric="speed" units="mph"  />

Rotation and Length

The gauge by default starts at the bottom left, this can be changed using start, which is the number of degrees to rotate clockwise. The default start is 143.

<component type="cairo-gauge-round-annotated" metric="speed" units="mph"  start="270"/>

The gauge is normally 254 degrees "long". This can be changed using length

<component type="cairo-gauge-round-annotated" metric="speed" units="mph"  length="90" />

<component type="cairo-gauge-round-annotated" metric="speed" units="mph"  length="180" />

Number of Ticks / Sectors

There are 5 sectors by default. This can be changed with sectors

<component type="cairo-gauge-round-annotated" metric="speed" units="mph"  length="90" sectors="20" />

<component type="cairo-gauge-round-annotated" metric="speed" units="mph"  length="180" sectors="6" />

Colours

Various colours can be set, either as RGB, or RGBA values.

The following are available to change: background-rgb, major-ann-rgb, minor-ann-rgb, needle-rgb, major-tick-rgb, minor-tick-rgb

<component type="cairo-gauge-round-annotated" metric="speed" units="mph"  background-rgb="255,0,0"/>

<component type="cairo-gauge-round-annotated" metric="speed" units="mph"  major-ann-rgb="255,0,0"/>

<component type="cairo-gauge-round-annotated" metric="speed" units="mph"  minor-ann-rgb="255,0,0"/>

<component type="cairo-gauge-round-annotated" metric="speed" units="mph"  major-tick-rgb="255,0,0"/>

<component type="cairo-gauge-round-annotated" metric="speed" units="mph"  needle-rgb="255,0,255"/>
