ArcScale.StartAngle Property

Gets or sets the angle that specifies the scale start position.

Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.Gauges

Assembly: DevExpress.Xpf.Gauges.v24.1.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Wpf.Gauges

Declaration

public double StartAngle { get; set; }

Property Value

Type Description
Double

A Double value that is the start angle of the scale.

Remarks

A scale’s start and end positions are defined by the StartAngle and ArcScale.EndAngle properties. In this case, an angle increases in the clockwise direction and decreases in a counterclockwise one.

The following images illustrate this behavior:

StartAngle= 0, EndAngle= -270 StartAngle= -90, EndAngle = -270 StartAngle= -180, EndAngle = -270
Scale_StartAngle 0 Scale_StartAngle -90 Scale_StartAngle -180

Note that the StartAngle property can be either less than the EndAngle or greater than the EndAngle - both situations are correct.

StartAngle= 180, EndAngle= 0 StartAngle= 0, EndAngle= 180
Scale_StartAngle greater EndAngle Scale_EndAngle greater StartAngle

Example

This example illustrates how to create a CircularGaugeControl instance with a single ArcScale object.
