Gauges for WPF and Silverlight allows you to create customized, rich applications. Make the most of Gauges for WPF and Silverlight by taking advantage of the following key features:
- Various Range Types
Create non-linear or linear shapes for the range. Using non-linear shapes, you can show growth and add visual appeal to the gauge.
- Generate Sleek Linear Gauges
Common linear gauges include rulers and thermometers. Use simple properties to customize their scale, tick marks, ranges, and pointer.
- Create Professional-looking Radial Gauges
Common radial gauges include dials and speedometers. Use simple properties to customize their start and sweep angles, tick marks, ranges, and pointer.
- Support for the Off Mode
If there is no value, you can set the off position outside the range.
- Create Knob-style Gauges
The C1Knob control, an extension of the C1RadialGauge, enables the end-user to drag the pointer to a value.
- Support for Label Formats
Format the labels; for example, set the labels to display the values in currency format ($).
- Extensive XAML-free Customization
C1LinearGauge and C1RadialGauge have properties that provide extensive customization without requiring any changes to the XAML template. Of course, if you prefer to use XAML and extend the customization even further, that’s also possible.
- Additional Controls
Gauges for WPF provides several additional controls that can be used when formatting familiar gauge controls. These include the C1SpeedometerGauge, C1VolumeGauge, C1RulerGauge, and C1RegionKnob controls.
