Digital and State Indicator Gauges
Digital Gauges
The Gauge Control provides four types of digital gauges: seven-segment, fourteen-segment, 5x8 matrix and 8x14 matrix. All WinForms Digital Gauge types ship with multiple themes/skins.
DevExpress Digital Gauge controls provides the following digital gauge settings:
- The number of characters to be displayed
- Character spacing
- Customizable appearance for enabled and disabled segments
- Data field used to supply display text (in data-bound mode)
State Indicator Gauges
The following are just a few examples of state indicator gauges shipped with the Gauge Control.
These gauges can be used as:
- Process state indicators (e.g. traffic lights gauge).
- Value level indicators (e.g. smiley gauge).
- Clipart, allowing you to enhance your application usability by incorporating explanatory images (e.g. state flags or currency symbol gauges).
The main benefit of using State Indicator Gauges is that the DevExpress Gauge controls use vector graphics so that images will preserve their quality regardless of their current size which in turn saves you the trouble of adjusting images to the required control size or vice versa - adjusting controls so that they fit images. Once you start using DevExpress Gauges, you will never again worry about resizing issues when using resizable containers - state indicators are automatically resized with their parent control.
