gradient scale in gauge

curiousfellow — Wed, 26 May 2021 11:52:07 GMT

I have one dimension value and one expression value.

I would like to have a gauge in the style of attached image. The scale should be from light green to dark red.

I cannot find a way to do this.

Hi @curiousfellow

If you're using a guage chart, then you should be able to alter the segment colour settings as shown below.

That seems to work for gauge style 1 but not for 2 and 3. The problem is I think, is that the background should be gradient, and not the expression value.

Hi @curiousfellow

I didn't think to check other guage types and no, it doesn't work for them all. Does it have to be the one with rounded edges? You can use the 'square' version (which is the one I tested with) to get pretty close:

Btw, red-green colour blindess affects around 8% of the population, so I would advise you to choose a different colour scheme for such a guage. Blue-red is used more commonly these days, but if you search the internet, you may find other alternatives you prefer.

I did not try that one, because I liked the other two more. However this one comes close to what I want.

Thank you for this. (I will change green to blue)
