Siticone Radial Gauge

The SiticoneRadialGauge provides a classic, highly reliable radial instrument visualization. It supports various needle styles, colored ranges (zones), and configurable scale properties, making it suitable for industrial, automotive, or general-purpose applications.

Values & Scale

Properties for setting the gauge's measurement range and current value.

Property	Type	Description & Usage Example
`Value`	float	gauge.Value = 50; The current reading. Updates are animated.
`MinimumValue`	float	gauge.MinimumValue = 0; Start of the scale.
`MaximumValue`	float	gauge.MaximumValue = 100; End of the scale.

Appearance & Style

Customize the gauge's overall look and feel.

Property	Type	Description & Usage Example
`GaugeStyle`	RadialGaugeStyle	gauge.GaugeStyle = RadialGaugeStyle.Modern; Presets: `Classic`, `Modern`, `Speedometer`, `Industrial`, `Automotive`.
`DialBackgroundColor`	Color	gauge.DialBackgroundColor = Color.WhiteSmoke; Color of the gauge face.
`ScaleColor`	Color	gauge.ScaleColor = Color.Gray; Color of the scale arc.
`ShowOuterBorder`	bool	gauge.ShowOuterBorder = true; Displays a border ring around the gauge.

Needle Configuration

Customize the indicator needle.

Property	Type	Description & Usage Example
`NeedleType`	RadialGaugeNeedleType	gauge.NeedleType = RadialGaugeNeedleType.Arrow; Styles: `Classic`, `Modern`, `Triangular`, `Arrow`, `Line`.
`NeedleColor`	Color	gauge.NeedleColor = Color.Red; Color of the needle.

Scale Zones

Configure colored regions on the scale (e.g., Redline).

Property	Type	Description & Usage Example
`ShowColorZones`	bool	gauge.ShowColorZones = true; Enables colored scale zones.
`RedZoneStart`	float	gauge.RedZoneStart = 80; Start value for the red (danger) zone.
`YellowZoneStart`	float	gauge.YellowZoneStart = 60; Start value for the yellow (warning) zone.

Public Methods

SetValue(float, bool)

// Sets the value with optional animation.
gauge.SetValue(75, true);

Reset()

// Resets the value to MinimumValue.
gauge.Reset();

Events

Events Wiring

// 1. ValueChanged Event

Detailed Usage Examples

Example 1: Classic Speedometer

A traditional automotive speedometer configuration.

C# - Speedometer

private void SetupSpeedometer()
{
    gauge.GaugeStyle = RadialGaugeStyle.Speedometer;
    gauge.UnitText = "MPH";
    gauge.MaximumValue = 120;
    
                // Redline
    gauge.RedZoneStart = 100;
    gauge.YellowZoneStart = 80;
    gauge.ShowColorZones = true;
}

Example 2: Industrial Pressure Gauge

A simple, high-contrast gauge for industrial applications.

C# - Pressure

private void SetupPressure()
{
    gauge.GaugeStyle = RadialGaugeStyle.Industrial;
    gauge.UnitText = "PSI";
    gauge.MaximumValue = 200;
    
                // Simple needle
    gauge.NeedleType = RadialGaugeNeedleType.Triangular;
    gauge.NeedleColor = Color.Black;
}
