Did you know our MBS Xojo ChartDirector Plugin can do more than charts and provide rendering of meters and gauges?
Meters and Gauges (1)
Meters and Gauges (2)
Check out the CDAngularMeterMBS class with it’s super class CDBaseMeterMBS.

There is also the related CDMeterPointerMBS class for the pointer. we have examples for all this images to produce meters and gauges in various variants.
You find a couple of example projects included with our MBS Xojo ChartDirector Plugin download.

Hi @Christian_Schmitz - as a lover of MBS plug-ins I wanted to ask if these gauges work with Web 2.0 projects, and if you have any sample/example pages hosted where we could check them out. Thanks!
Yep, I use the gauges in a few projects. Syntax is pretty complex and obtuse, but once it’s working it works well.
Thanks Julia! If it isn’t too much trouble, could you tell me a bit more? Did you hit any roadblocks or glitches - or do you think this is a solid solution? (thanks again)
Well, you can check out the examples for CDLinearMeterMBS and CDAngularMeterMBS classes.
The examples are all for desktop, but you could copy code to a web project if needed. And then generate gauge images as needed.
Do you need to show them in PDF documents?
Hi Christian - the use would be in a web portal, using gauges to show progress (visually) of projects and other things the customer wants to present.
Hi, William. I use the gauges for a little app I wrote to monitor various sensors on my twin diesel engine boat. They are very customizable and as Julia said, once you get over the initial learning curve, they work very well. Each of the N/A labels gets replaced with the sensor name when running. My only issue is that you have to buy the entire chart director just for the gauges.

Very solid and smooth once over the learning curve, as Frank said. No idea about Web, though.
