Siticone Gauge Zone

The SiticoneGaugeZone is a linear, zone-based gauge control that visualizes data across multiple colored segments (e.g., Low, Medium, High). It is perfect for dashboards that need to show status ranges (like server load or temperature zones) in a horizontal layout. It supports animations, gradients, and interactive tooltips.

Zone Configuration

Define the value ranges and appearance for each segment of the gauge.

Method	Description
`AddSection`	Adds a new colored zone defined by start and end values.
`RemoveSection`	Removes an existing zone section.
`ClearSections`	Removes all zones from the gauge.

Visual Appearance

Customize the overall look, colors, and layout.

Property	Type	Description
`Theme`	Enum	Predefined visual themes (e.g., Modern, Neon, Industrial).
`GaugeHeight`	int	Height of the gauge bar in pixels.
`CornerRadius`	int	Rounding of the gauge corners.
`ZoneGap`	int	Spacing between adjacent zones.
`UseGradient`	bool	Enables gradient fills for zones.
`GaugeBackColor`	Color	Background color of the control.

Values & Interaction

Control data input and user interaction.

Property	Type	Description
`Value`	double	Current value. Triggers animation if enabled.
`MinValue`	double	Scale minimum.
`MaxValue`	double	Scale maximum.
`InteractiveMode`	bool	Allows changing the value by clicking on the gauge.
`ShowTooltip`	bool	Displays value tooltip on hover.

Visual Effects

Advanced rendering options.

Property	Type	Description
`EnableShadow`	bool	Adds a drop shadow to the gauge bar.
`EnableGlow`	bool	Adds a glow effect to the zones.
`Use3DEffect`	bool	Enables 3D rendering (rims, bevels).
`AnimateValue`	bool	Enables smooth transitions for value changes.

Public Methods

Setup & Control

// Add a zone
zoneGauge.AddSection(new GaugeSection(0, 50, Color.Green));

// Set Value with animation
zoneGauge.AnimateToValue(75);
// Manual Reset
zoneGauge.ResetValue();

Events

Event Hooks

zoneGauge.ValueChanged += (s, e) => 
{
                Console.WriteLine("Value updated!");
};

zoneGauge.AnimationCompleted += (s, e) =>
{
                Console.WriteLine("Animation finished.");
};

Example: Server Status

C# Setup

public void InitStatusGauge()
{
    zoneGauge.MinValue = 0;
    zoneGauge.MaxValue = 100;
    zoneGauge.Title = "CPU Load";
    
                // Zones
    zoneGauge.ClearSections();
    zoneGauge.AddSection(new GaugeSection(0, 60, Color.Green));
    zoneGauge.AddSection(new GaugeSection(60, 85, Color.Orange));
    zoneGauge.AddSection(new GaugeSection(85, 100, Color.Red));
    
                // Styling
    zoneGauge.Theme = GaugeTheme.Modern;
    zoneGauge.GaugeHeight = 30;
    zoneGauge.CornerRadius = 15;
    
                // Interaction
    zoneGauge.ShowTooltip = true;
    zoneGauge.InteractiveMode = false;
                // Display only
}
