Installation
The easiest way to get started is to install it via npm:
npm install @recogizer/gauge-chartOr to add manually a link to the library into your html file:
<script src="https://unpkg.com/gauge-chart@latest/dist/bundle.js"></script>Usage
Create an element for positioning gauge in your html file:
<div id="gaugeArea"></div>Now you're ready to draw your own gauge.
Just copy this code into your js / ts file or into <script> </script> tags in html file:
// Element inside which you want to see the chart
let element = document.querySelector('#gaugeArea')
// Properties of the gauge
let gaugeOptions = {
hasNeedle: true,
needleColor: 'gray',
needleUpdateSpeed: 1000,
arcColors: ['rgb(44, 151, 222)', 'lightgray'],
arcDelimiters: [30],
rangeLabel: ['0', '100'],
centralLabel: '50',
}
// Drawing and updating the chart
GaugeChart.gaugeChart(element, 300, gaugeOptions).updateNeedle(50)Result:
By default, the needle is pointing to 0, thus in order to move it you have to use .updateNeedle(val), where val denotes the value on the chart.
Feel free to change or delete any of the gaugeOptions properties as long as their values are in permitted ranges.
