The horizontal linear gauge uses height of the working area as the base dimension. The vertical gauge uses area's width as the base dimension. C1LinearGauge has the BaseOrigin property that specifies a position (as a portion of the base dimension) where the transversal axis starts. The BaseFactor property sets a portion of the base dimension whose length is 100 in logical coordinates.

The AxisStart and AxisLength properties specify the start and length of the longitudinal (value) axis. If the IsReversed property is set to True the direction of the longitudinal axis becomes opposite to the direction where the values increase. The next image shows a few available options for the linear gauge coordinate system.
