Generic Gauge

Generic Gauge is an output widget.

This widget offers an efficient and resource-thrifty way to dispay meters. The scales are symmeric and gradient colors can be used. This widget has a default needle which is rendered directly by the system. By doing so, this widget requies far less system resources. It is suitable for HMIs that need many gauges and the gagues need to reflect the change of the values quickly. This widget supports layering images and it can be layered upon other background images for enhancing visual effects.
