Live-Charts.Extend

1.Introduction

Live-Charts.Extend is a extended Gauge Chart Lib for Live-Charts.

2.Purpose

The native Gauge chart of Live-charts is too simple, and it can't satisfy our needs. So, I build a new one to improve it. And it also has all the advantages of native Gauge charts.

With the samples above, you could see the advantages of Live-charts is still exist. For example, RotateTransform、Uses360Mode 、GaugeActiveFill ..etc

5.Sample

• Step 1. Import Lib

<Window x:Class="Live_Charts.Demo.MainWindow"
        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"

        xmlns:local="clr-namespace:Live_Charts.Demo"
        xmlns:chart="clr-namespace:Live_Charts.Extend;assembly=Live-Charts.Extend"   <-- import Lib
        mc:Ignorable="d"
        Title="MainWindow" Height="450" Width="800">

• Step 2. Insert AuGaugae into you xaml

Sample 1. Half Circle

<chart:AuGauge Margin="10" From="0" To="160" Value="21" LabelsVisibility="Visible"
    GaugeBackground="#070707" Foreground="Red"
    GaugeTitle="Speed" GaugeUnit="km/h" >
    <chart:AuGauge.GaugeActiveFill>
		<LinearGradientBrush>
			<GradientStop Color="#0BBBBA" Offset="0.0" />
			<GradientStop Color="#F50606" Offset="1.0" />
		</LinearGradientBrush>
    </chart:AuGauge.GaugeActiveFill>
</chart:AuGauge>

Sample 2. Full Circle

<chart:AuGauge Margin="5"
    Uses360Mode="True"
    From="0" To="100" Value="{Binding V5}" GaugeBackground="#070707"
    Foreground="blue"
    GaugeTitle="訊號強度" GaugeUnit="dBm" IconSource="{Binding IconSignal, ElementName=BusGauge}" >
        <chart:AuGauge.GaugeRenderTransform>
            <TransformGroup>
                <RotateTransform Angle="90"></RotateTransform>
                <ScaleTransform ScaleX="1"></ScaleTransform>
            </TransformGroup>
        </chart:AuGauge.GaugeRenderTransform>
        <chart:AuGauge.GaugeActiveFill>
            <LinearGradientBrush>
                <GradientStop Color="#0BBBBA" Offset="0.0" />
                <GradientStop Color="#F50606" Offset="1.0" />
            </LinearGradientBrush>
        </chart:AuGauge.GaugeActiveFill>
</chart:AuGauge>
