Public Property ImageType As GaugeImageType

Property Value

Type	Default	Description
GaugeImageType	Metafile	A GaugeImageType enumeration value, specifying how a gauge is rendered in a report.

Available values:

Name	Description
Metafile	The control is rendered as a metafile. In this case, the quality of the rendered image is always good, but in some cases some details of the control may be lost.
Bitmap	The control is rendered as a bitmap. In this case, the quality of the rendered image is sometimes poor, but it allows a control to be drawn more precisely.
Svg	For internal use.

Remarks

Use the ImageType property to specify whether a gauge should be internally rendered as a metafile or bitmap in a report.

• If this property is set to GaugeImageType.Metafile (the default value), the quality of the rendered image is always good, but in particular cases some details of the control can be lost.
• If this property is set to GaugeImageType.Bitmap, the quality of the rendered image is sometimes poor, but it allows a control to be drawn more precisely.

Note

To achieve Microsoft Azure compatibility, set the ImageType property to GaugeImageType.Bitmap or set the AzureCompatibility.Enable property to true.
