Linear Gauge with Pointer Sample

Types of pointer

The Linear Gauge supports the following two types of pointers:

Bar
Marker

You can choose any pointer using the MarkerType property.

Marker pointer

A marker pointer is a shape that can be placed to mark the pointer value in the linear gauge.

Types of marker shapes

The following marker types are available in linear gauge. You can change the marker shape using the MarkerType property in LinearGaugePointer options.

Circle
Rectangle
Triangle
InvertedTriangle
Diamond
Image

You can also use an image instead of rendering a shape as pointer. It can be achieved by setting the MarkerType property to Image and setting image path to ImageUrl in LinearGaugePointer.

Pointer animation

Pointer is animated on loading the gauge. This can be handled using the AnimationDuration property. You need to specify the duration of the animation in milliseconds.

Gradient Color

Gradient support allows to add multiple colors in the ranges and pointers of the linear gauge. The following gradient types are supported in the linear gauge.

Linear Gradient
Radial Gradient

Linear Gradient

Using linear gradient, colors will be applied in a linear progression. The start value of the linear gradient can be set using the StartValue property. The end value of the linear gradient will be set using the EndValue property. The color stop values such as color, opacity and offset are set using ColorStop property.

The linear gradient can be applied to all pointer types like marker and range bar. To do so, follow the below code sample.

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.LinearGauge

    <LinearGaugeContainer Width="30" Offset="30">
        <LinearGaugeContainerBorder Width="0"/>

@code {
public static LinearGradient PointerLinearModel = new LinearGradient() {
    StartValue = "1%",
    EndValue = "99%",
    ColorStop = new List<ColorStop>() {
        new ColorStop { Opacity=1, Color= "#fef3f9", Offset="1%" },
        new ColorStop { Opacity=1, Color= "#f54ea2", Offset="100%" }
    }
};
}

Radial Gradient

Using radial gradient, colors will be applied in circular progression. The inner circle position of the radial gradient will be set using the InnerPosition property. The outer circle position of the radial gradient can be set using the OuterPosition property. The color stop values such as color, opacity and offset are set using ColorStop property.

The radial gradient can be applied to all pointer types like marker and range bar. To do so, follow the below code sample.
