# LinearGauge#

import panel as pn

pn.extension()


The LinearGauge is a value indicator providing a visual representation of a value in a certain range as a simple linear gauge. It is similar to Dial and Gauge elements but visually more compact.

## Parameters:#

For layout and styling related parameters see the customization user guide.

• bounds (tuple, default=(0, 100)): The upper and lower bound of the dial.

• colors (list): Color thresholds for the gauge, specified as a list of evenly spaced colors or tuples of the fractional threshold and the color to switch to.

• default_color (str, default=’lightblue’): Color to use if no color threshold are supplied to the color parameter

• format str(str, default=’{value}%’): Formatting string for the value indicator.

• nan_format str(str, default=’-‘): How to format nan values.

• needle_color (str, default=’black): Color of the needle.

• show_boundaries (boolean, default=False): Whether to show transitions between colors.

• tick_size (int): Font size of the tick labels.

• title_size (int): Font size of the title.

• unfilled_color (str, default=’whitesmoke’): Color of the unfilled region of the LinearGauge

• value (float or int, default=25): Value to indicate on the dial a value within the declared bounds.

• value_size (str): Font size of value label.

The simplest form of a LinearGauge just requires setting a value which must be within the bounds. The default formatter and bounds assume you are providing a percentage:

pn.indicators.LinearGauge(name='Failure Rate', value=30, bounds=(0, 100))


If we want to display some other value such as the revolutions per minute of an engine we can set a different bounds value and override the format. Additionally we may also provide a different set of colors defining the threshold points at which the color should change as a fraction of the provided bounds. The colors accepts a list of tuples defining the fractions and the color:

pn.indicators.LinearGauge(
name='Engine', value=2500, bounds=(0, 3000), format='{value:.0f} rpm',
colors=['green', 'gold', 'red'], horizontal=True, width=125
)


If we want to show the transition points between the different colors we can also enable show_boundaries:

pn.indicators.LinearGauge(
name='Engine', value=2800, bounds=(0, 3000), format='{value:.0f} rpm',
colors=[(0.2, 'green'), (0.8, 'gold'), (1, 'red')], show_boundaries=True
)
