Syntax

g = uigauge
g = uigauge(style)
g = uigauge(parent)
g = uigauge(parent,style)
g = uigauge(___,Name,Value)

Description

g = uigauge creates a circular gauge in a new figure window and returns the Gauge object. MATLAB® calls the uifigure function to create the figure.

g = uigauge(style) specifies the gauge style.

example

g = uigauge(parent) creates the gauge in the specified parent container. The parent can be a Figure created using the uifigure function, or one of its child containers.

example

g = uigauge(parent,style) creates a gauge of the specified style in the specified parent container.

example

g = uigauge(___,Name,Value) specifies object properties using one or more Name,Value pair arguments. Use this option with any of the input argument combinations in the previous syntaxes.

Examples

collapse all

fig = uifigure;
cg = uigauge(fig);

fig = uifigure;
lg  = uigauge(fig,'linear');

Specify a panel as the parent container for a linear gauge.

fig = uifigure;
pnl = uipanel(fig);
lg = uigauge(pnl,'linear');

Create a circular gauge, and set the ScaleDirection property to specify that the needle moves counterclockwise.

fig = uifigure;
cg = uigauge(fig,'ScaleDirection','counterclockwise');

Change the number of major ticks, specify matching tick labels, and remove minor ticks.

cg.MajorTicks = [0:10:100];
cg.MajorTickLabels = {'0','10','20','30','40','50','60','70','80','90','100'};
cg.MinorTicks = [];


fig = uifigure;
cg = uigauge(fig,'ScaleColors',{'yellow','red'},...
                 'ScaleColorLimits', [60 80; 80 100]);

Input Arguments

collapse all

Style of gauge, specified as any one of the following values:

StyleAppearance
'circular'
'linear'
'ninetydegree'
'semicircular'

Parent container, specified as a Figure object created using the uifigure function, or one of its child containers: Tab, Panel, ButtonGroup, or GridLayout. If you do not specify a parent container, MATLAB calls the uifigure function to create a new Figure object that serves as the parent container.

Name-Value Pair Arguments

Specify optional comma-separated pairs of Name,Value arguments. Name is the argument name and Value is the corresponding value. Name must appear inside quotes. You can specify several name and value pair arguments in any order as Name1,Value1,...,NameN,ValueN.

Each type of gauge supports a different set of properties. For a full list of properties and descriptions for each type, see the associated property page.
