GaugeFaceStyle
is an option for gauge functions that specifies the style in which the face is to be drawn.
Details
- GaugeFaceStyle->g specifies that a graphics directive g should be used to draw the gauge face.
- GaugeFaceStyle->
specifies that no face should be drawn. - The directives that can be given include:
-
Dashing[{w1,…}] dashing specification EdgeForm[g] edge-drawing specification FaceForm[g] face-drawing specification GrayLevel[i] intensity Hue[h] hue Opacity[a] opacity Red,Blue,etc. named colors RGBColor[r,g,b] RGB color Thickness[w] line thickness Directive[g1,g2,…] composite graphics directive
Examples
Basic Examples (5)
Specify the style for the gauge face:
Table[AngularGauge[42, {0, 100}, GaugeFaceStyle -> c], {c, {LightGray, LightOrange}}]Table[HorizontalGauge[42, {0, 100}, GaugeFaceStyle -> c], {c, {LightGray, LightOrange}}]Use one or more directives to style the face:
AngularGauge[42, {0, 100}, GaugeFrameStyle -> None, GaugeFaceStyle -> Directive[LightGreen, EdgeForm[{Dotted, Black}]]]HorizontalGauge[42, {0, 100}, GaugeFrameStyle -> None, GaugeFaceStyle -> Directive[LightGreen, EdgeForm[{Dotted, Black}]]]Use None to turn off the face:
AngularGauge[42, {0, 100}, GaugeFaceStyle -> None, Background -> LightBlue]Combine the style with different face appearances:
AngularGauge[42, {0, 100}, GaugeFrameStyle -> None, ScaleOrigin -> .8, GaugeFaceStyle -> Directive[LightOrange, EdgeForm[]], GaugeFaceElementFunction -> "PlateauSector"]Use a Texture as a gauge face:
AngularGauge[42, {0, 100}, AxesStyle -> Black, GaugeFrameStyle -> Black, GaugeFaceStyle -> Texture[ExampleData[{"ColorTexture", "Amboyna"}]]]AngularGauge[42, {0, 100}, AxesStyle -> Black, GaugeFrameStyle -> Black, GaugeFaceStyle -> Texture[ImageCrop[Graphics3D[Sphere[], Boxed -> False]]]]Related Guides
