How to - Double layout ("Sausage") gauge

[robert_mika]

The native  QV gauges are not very sexy but you can give them little makeover.

Please see below one on how to do that

(you can find out more her

Dislike gauge charts? You may want to give them a second chance)

The idea here is to have our scale started at 12 am (or pm).

We will need two gauges precisely layout out one on another.

The first gauge is just a circle,  the second will hold calculation and segments.

Advice:

Turn on the " Design grid" option.

It is very helpful when deciding upon the size of the chart or adjusting the layout.

First Gauge

Press right button anywhere on the tab and from option choose "Create New Sheet Object.." and then "Chart..."

a) Tab : General :-

Choose gauge from the chart options.

b) Dimension:

Skip

c) Expressions:

Add '1' as expression

d) Sort:

Skip

e) Style:

Choose the first top left corner chart

f) Presentation:

Fallow the picture below:

g) Actions:

Skip

h) Colors:

The  "Color Background" and the "Frame Background " "Transparency" must be set to 100%

i) Layout:

The "Use Borders " box must be empty

j) Caption:

The "Show Caption" box must be empty

The final result is a  blue circle.

Second gauge

Points a-e

(Follow instruction on first chart)

f) Presentation:

Follow the picture below.

Where Segment 1 Lower Bound is 0  and color is Blue and Segment 2 Lower Bound is is your expression

(in this example only decimal number is use but normally you will need to enter an expression in form x/y)

and the color is transparent.

Add Text in "Text in Chart"  option and format it as %.

Segment 1	Segment 2

Points g-j

Follow instruction for the first chart.

The final result:

And the two gauges joined together:

Hemesh465‌: Robert is correct, in addition, you may edit the text in chart and alight is centrally. This is help you more getting the % figure right at the center.

Hope it helps.

@Hemesh465: When you go editing to text in chart you will find the option to change the font settings(see the screen shot attached). When you click the font button you will have the option to pick the font type, font size and font color of your choice there

Hope it helps.
