ScaleLabelOptions.ShowFirst Property

Gets or sets a value indicating whether the first label should be shown on a scale.

Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.Gauges

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

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Wpf.Gauges

Declaration

C#

public bool ShowFirst { get; set; }

VB.NET

Public Property ShowFirst As Boolean

Property Value

Type	Description
Boolean	true to display the first label on a scale; otherwise false.

Remarks

Use the ShowFirst and ScaleLabelOptions.ShowLast properties to show or hide the first and last labels on a scale. This may be required, for example, when these labels are both displayed at the same position and the resulting gauge looks ugly. In this case, you can hide the first label by setting the ShowFirst property to false.

The table bellow illustrates the properties behavior.

ShowFirst=True, ShowLast=True	ShowFirst=False, ShowLast=True	ShowFirst=True, ShowLast=False

For more information on labels, refer to labels (Circular scale) and labels (Linear scale) documents.

Example

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