This is the Meter chart. Similar to half the Odometer. The difference is purely visual, but may well be more suited to a control panel type application.
The example file is here.
<script>
window.onload = function ()
{
var meter = new RGraph.Meter('myCanvas', 50, 100, 60);
meter.Set('chart.contextmenu', [
['Show palette', RGraph.Showpalette],
['Clear annotations', function () {RGraph.Clear(meter.canvas); meter.Draw();}],
null,
['Cancel', function () {}]
]);
meter.Set('chart.annotatable', true);
meter.Set('chart.label.position', 'inside');
meter.Set('chart.title', 'A sample measurement');
meter.Set('chart.title.vpos', 0.5);
meter.Set('chart.units.post', 'k');
meter.Set('chart.red.start', 0);
meter.Set('chart.red.end', 3);
meterSet('chart.yellow.start', 3);
meter.Set('chart.yellow.end', 6);
meter.Set('chart.green.start', 6);
meter.Set('chart.green.end', 10);
meter.Draw();
}
</script>
You can use these properties to control how the Meter apears. You can set them by using the Set() method. Eg:
myMeter.Set('name', 'value');
| chart.gutter | The gutter of the graph. Default: 25 |
chart.linewidth | The width of the outline of the Meter. Default: 2 |
|---|---|---|---|
| chart.border.color | The color of the outline (including tickmarks). Default: black |
chart.green.start | The value that the green area should begin at. Default: 35% of the maximum value |
| chart.green.end | The value that the green area should end at. Default: The maximum value |
chart.green.color | The color of the green area, (can be any color).. Default: #207A20 |
| chart.yellow.start | The value that the yellow area should begin at. Default: 10% of the maximum value |
chart.yellow.end | The value that the yellow area should end at. Default: 35% of the maximum value |
| chart.green.color | The color of the yellow area, (can be any color).. Default: #D0AC41 |
chart.red.start | The value that the red area should begin at. Default: The minimum value |
| chart.red.end | The value that the red area should end at. Default: 10% of the maximum value |
chart.red.color | The color of the red area, (can be any color).. Default: #9E1E1E |
| chart.text.color | The color of the labels. Default: black |
chart.text.size | The size (in points) of the labels. Default: 10 |
| chart.text.font | The font used to render the text. Default: Verdana |
chart.title | The title of the graph, if any. Default: null |
| chart.title.color | The color of the title. Default: black |
chart.title.vpos | This allows you to completely override the vertical positioning of the title. It should be a number between 0 and 1, and is multiplied with the gutter and then used as the vertical position. It can be useful if you need to have a large gutter. Default: null |
| chart.contextmenu | An array of context menu items. More information on context menus is here. Default: [] (An empty array) |
chart.units.pre | The units that the labels are measured in. This string is displayed BEFORE the actual number, allowing you to specify values such as "$50". Default: none |
| chart.units.post | The units that the labels are measured in. This string is displayed AFTER the actual number, allowing you to specify values such as "50ms". Default: none |
chart.labels.position | This determines whether the labels for the chart are drawn either on the inside or the outside of the meter. Possible values are inside or outside. Default: outside |
| chart.annotatable | Whether annotations are enabled for the chart (ie you can draw on the chart interactively). Default: false |
chart.annotate.color | If you do not allow the use of the palette, then this will be the only color allowed for annotations. Default: black |
| chart.zoom.mode | Can be used to control whether the zoom is in thumbnail or canvas mode. Possible values are: thumbnail and canvas. Default: canvas |
chart.zoom.factor | This is the factor that the graph will be zoomed by (bigger values means more zoom) Default: 1.5 |
| chart.zoom.fade.in | Whether the zoomed canvas fades in or not. This also can be used to control the fade in for the zoom in thumbnail mode. Default: true |
chart.zoom.fade.out | Whether the zoomed canvas fades out or not. This also can be used to control the fade in for the zoom in thumbnail mode. Default: true |
| chart.zoom.hdir | The horizontal direction of the zoom. Possible values are: left, center, right Default: right |
chart.zoom.vdir | The vertical direction of the zoom. Possible values are: up, center, down Default: down |
| chart.zoom.delay | The delay (in milliseconds) between frames. Default: 50 |
chart.zoom.frames | The number of frames in the zoom animation. Default: 10 |
| chart.zoom.shadow | Whether or not the zoomed canvas has a shadow or not. Default: true |
chart.zoom.thumbnail.width | When the zoom is in thumbnail mode, this is the width (in pixels) of the thumbnail. Default: 75 |
| chart.zoom.thumbnail.height | When the zoom is in thumbnail mode, this is the height (in pixels) of the thumbnail. Default: 75 |
