Gauge chart¶

Usage¶

Gauge charts are commonly used to display performance metrics, such as percentage completion, quality scores or to indicate real-time values like temperature or speed.

The chart can be accompanied by color coding to indicate different ranges or thresholds. The gauge shows the value and its position between the minimum and maximum, highlighted with a color that corresponds to the range the value currently falls into.

Best practices¶

• Ensure that the numeric scale used is clear and easy to understand. It's helpful to include the maximum and minimum values, as well as any threshold or target values.
• Color-coding is a useful way to indicate different ranges or thresholds. Choose colors that are meaningful in relation to the data being represented.
• Keep it simple. Gauge charts are best suited for displaying simple, straightforward data.
• If there is a need to represent a crucial system status (e.g: danger, warning or caution) provide additional visual cues, such as text labels or icons, to support accessibility.

Design¶

A gauge chart displays data similar to a circle chart, but with a needle or dial to indicate where the data point(s) falls over a particular range.

1. Progress, 2. Qualitative Range (Optional), 3. Base, 4. Unit, 5. Value, 6. Scale (Optional)

Code¶

Usage¶

import { SiChartGaugeComponent } from '@siemens/charts-ng';

@Component({
  imports: [SiChartGaugeComponent, ...]
})
