({{, (RefLink[ScalePadding, paclet:ref/ScalePadding]) 
is an option for gauge functions that specifies how much space to leave around the scale.}})

OpenersNotesSection(Spacer1)Details

Padding specified by (RefLink[ScalePadding, paclet:ref/ScalePadding]) describes the extent of the gauge background that should be drawn around the scale.

For each direction specified, (RefLink[ScalePadding, paclet:ref/ScalePadding]) can take the following values:

(RefLink[ScalePadding, paclet:ref/ScalePadding]) can take the following forms for linear scaled gauges:

(RefLink[ScalePadding, paclet:ref/ScalePadding]) can take the following forms for circularly scaled gauges:

By default there is a set amount of padding around the scale:

{VerticalGauge[36,{0,100},GaugeFrameStyle->Black,ScalePadding->Automatic],AngularGauge[36,{0,100},ScalePadding->Automatic]}

Specify a constant horizontal and vertical or angular padding:

{VerticalGauge[36,{0,100},GaugeFrameStyle->Black,ScalePadding->.15],AngularGauge[36,{0,100},ScaleOrigin->{0,π},ScalePadding->.2]}

Use a scaled value for the constant horizontal and vertical padding:

VerticalGauge[36,{0,100},GaugeFrameStyle->Black,ScalePadding->Scaled[.2]]

Specify different horizontal and vertical padding on each side:

VerticalGauge[36,{0,100},GaugeFrameStyle->Black,ScalePadding->{{.1,.2},{.15,.1}}]
