Customizing gauge in LabVIEW

[sasimitha]

Hello All,

I want to develop a gauge in LabVIEW with a range of 0 to 100. The gauge value will be controlled using a numeric input. Based on the input value, the gauge should be dynamically filled with color up to that value, while the remaining portion should stay white.

How can I implement this functionality in LabVIEW?
If possible, could you provide a sample LabVIEW program or step-by-step guidance to achieve this?

You could paint your gauge using a 2DPictureIndicator:

• draw a "white" circle"
• draw a circle section, using a thick "color" pen, based on the percentage value
• handle transparency of your 2DPictureIndicator

(You could embed all this into an XControl, so you have an "ordinary" numeric terminal in your main code… 😄 )

Here's something I built about a decade ago just as a quick experiment. The code isn't good, since it was just a quick test, and it doesn't do exactly what you want, but it should give you a direction.
