Guage Chart - Remove the Shadow

joshabbott — Tue, 08 Jul 2014 16:25:03 GMT

Hello,

I'm attaching a barometer type of guage chart I'm using, but have been asked to remove the shadow below the chart. Is there a way to do this? Thanks!

use the gauge look as the one with needle and in the presentation use Indicator option to hide the needle

Thank you for the reply. This would work, but I need this in a barometer (horizontal) style as the image shows.

You can make a horizontal linear gauge without the shadow, It can look just like the barometer gauge expect for rounded corners.

Perfect, I can work with that. Thank you!

You could always use a text box, filled white with no borders to cover the shadow. Sometimes you need to think out the box.

I like the idea, and if worst comes to worse, I will do this, but worry about the work it would take to maintain the document

Also consider a horizontal bar chart as an alternative. See:

for an example.
