Scale.StartValue Property

Gets or sets the start value of the scale.

Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.Gauges

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

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Wpf.Gauges

Declaration

C#

public double StartValue { get; set; }

VB.NET

Public Property StartValue As Double

Property Value

Type	Description
Double	A Double value which is a scale start.

Remarks

Use the StartValue and Scale.EndValue properties to specify the scale range.

Note that the StartValue can be either less than EndValue or greater than EndValue - both situations are correct. The table below illustrates this behavior.

StartValue = -50, EndValue = 50	StartValue = 50, EndValue = -50

Example

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