Symbol
A Symbol is a visual element that displays information on the Digital Gauge control. This information may contain digits, characters, or any graphics that can be shown on LED devices.
You can divide any symbol into one or more parts, depending on its size. These parts can be either segments or matrix dots. To display a symbol on a digital gauge’s symbols panel, use the DigitalGauge.Text property.
Symbol appearance depends on the symbols panel type. The following images show symbols on different panels:
A SevenSegments view type has 7 main and 4 additional segments used to display a symbol.
A FourteenSegments view type contains 14 main and 4 additional segments.
A Matrix5x8 view type contains 40 matrix dots (5 horizontal X 8 vertical) for each symbol.
A Matrix8x14 view type contains 112 matrix dots (8 horizontal X 14 vertical) for each symbol.
