Needle

A Needle element indicates a specific value in a circular scale. The needle starts at the center of the scale and ends at the scale’s current value.

You can place multiple needles on a scale. Needle objects are instances of the ArcScaleNeedle class.

The following image shows a circular gauge with two needles:

At design time, you can customize a gauge’s needles using the Preset Manager.

The table below lists the main properties that affect element behavior and appearance.
