Gauge Scale fonts
« on: January 17, 2016, 06:42:36 PM »
I would like to see a way to eliminate the scale data or at least be able to adjust the font size to zero.  I modified the gauge within WC and it has it's own scale.  Is there a work around maybe?  Something I can change in the code itself?

As long as we're discussing Custom Gauge details...

How about separate font size & color choices for the extra pointer's data displayed in the center. Maybe just assign an extra pointer/bugs color to it's text display, ie; Daily Temp gauge with current and max pointer/bug, the color of the 'max' pointer would be used as the color of the text that appears near the center of the gauge. The colors are even more important when there are three pointers/bugs. Size may not be worth the effort... ;)

At first I thought TechnoMonkey might want to see (at least 8 and maybe 32!) Cardinal labels instead of degrees on the Wind Gauge! [tup] [rolleyes2]
Of course, the actual degree number should appear near the center... [woohoo] After all, it's just typing, Stu! [computer] [cheer]

Setting the gauge's  scale and scale text colours to the same colour as the gauge background should pretty much make them invisible.

Doesn't work in this case as the gauge I am using is overlapped on different colors.  However, it is no longer an issue since I am using my own pointer now.  Basically, the main function is to eliminate uploading any images due to the consumption of bandwidth at both ends.  Now that I can easily build my own gauge using WC for the Data, I can start building my gauge page again.  Text is so boring.

Text is so boring.
And takes up so little space, bandwidth, and scales so nicely on Mobile...  [lol2]

But I like gauges, maps, graphs, etc. also! [blush] [removed link to the now castly photobucket.com site]
