Linear Scale

• Jul 20, 2021

A Scale is the main element of a Linear Gauge because it defines the axis along which other elements (for example, the level bar, background layer, and marker) are arranged.

A Linear Gauge can have one or more scales that display tickmarks and labels. It allows you to read measured data (for instance, a thermometer scale).

A scale is an instance of the LinearScale class.

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