Center Gauge

Hi,

Is there any way to center the gauge itself under the title.

At the moment the title is centred, but the gauge is in the left most position of the box.

Kind regards

I don't recall a setting that will center the gauge, but you could manually center it.

With the gauge object selected, hold down Ctrl+Shift to enter manually layout mode. Then drag the sides of the bounding box around the gauge portion towards the center. You may have to first drag the right side in, because the box seems to be set to the width of the chart object.

It doesn't seem like to can grab the guage and move it, which would make it a bit easier.

I found Gauges so hard to operate in terms of recizing, centering, etc... that I usually strip all other texts off the Gauge and add them separately in separate Text Boxes. This way, you can control the appearance much better. Same goes for borders, backgrounds, etc - my Gauges are borderless, with transparent background. When needed, I add a background or a frame in an underlying text box.

regards,

Oleg

Hi Alkaline and Community,

I experienced the same behavior you describe, where the label for the dimension was centered, but the actual gauge was favoring the left side. This was particularly evident with multiple gauges when the chart was set to trellis mode.

I found that an easy resolution was to increase the overall *height* of the full chart. Take the mouse and drag lower the bottom of the chart. As you do, you will see the gauge increase in size, and center itself within the allotted space.

If the gauge(s) has now grown too large for your liking, next reduce the overall *width* of the full chart, and the gauge(s) remains centered.

Good luck with that.

Hi,

click on the guage and select Ctrl+Shift key... you will see red borders on the gauge. You can enlarge, reduce, move accordingly using your mouse with Ctrl+Shift keys selected together.
