Format a Gauge graph using the Options tab in the Format: Graph dialog box. (If DHTML is disabled, you use the Format: Graph panel.) This tab is displayed only if you are formatting a Gauge graph in Editable Mode.
The following formatting settings are available:
Gauge Settings:
Gauge Style: Determine whether the Gauge graph is presented in the Old (pre-8.1) Gauge graph style or the New gauge graph style. The New gauge graph style has more vibrant colors and effects, and enables the following formatting options:
Needle Style: Determine the style of the needle in the gauge.
Border Style: Determine the style of the border around the gauge.
Border Thickness: Determine the thickness of the border around the gauge.
Range Thickness: If you selected the Old style gauge graph, use this to set the size of the gauge's border. For this property to be applied to New style gauge graphs, a graph designer must enable Quality Bands for the gauge in the Gauge Graph Options dialog box in MicroStrategy Desktop (for steps, refer to the MicroStrategy Desktop online help). Then, a Web user can use the Range Thickness slider to adjust the size of the quality bands.
Start Angle: Determine the location on the gauge where the range labels begin.
Stop Angle: Determine the location on
the gauge where the range labels end.
Note: The Start Angle and Stop Angle properties determine
how much of the gauge dial is displayed.
