LinearScaleLayer Class
A layer that contains properties to define the visual presentation of a linear scale.
Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.Gauges
Assembly: DevExpress.Xpf.Gauges.v23.2.dll
NuGet Package: DevExpress.Wpf.Gauges
Declaration
Remarks
A layer specifies the appearance of the linear scale’s elements. It is represented by LinearScaleLayer object contained in the LinearScaleLayerCollection object, which can be accessed via the LinearScale.Layers property.
When a new layer is added to the linear scale, it is painted behind all other elements, because by default, its LayerOptions.ZIndex is less than other elements. If you want to display the layers in front of other scale elements, set their Zindex to a greater value.
The following image illustrates this layer’s appearance.
Example
This example illustrates how to create a LinearGaugeControl instance with two LinearScale objects.
