A Scale is the main element of a Linear Gauge because it defines the axis, along which other elements (level bar, background layer, marker, etc.) are arranged.
A Linear Gauge can have one or more scales displaying tickmarks and labels. It allows you to read measured data (e.g., a thermometer scale).
A scale is represented by the LinearScale class.
The table below lists the main properties affecting element behavior and appearance.
