When to use a gauge

Description

The gauge is designed to show only one measure value. In addition to the current value, the gauge can also show minimum and maximum values, and color segments of your choice.

When to use it

The gauge is suitable when you want to visualize a single key measure value. You can use color coding to support the interpretation of the value.

Advantages

A gauge is easy to read and understand and it gives an instant indication of the performance within an area.

Disadvantages

The gauge is quite space-demanding in relation to the single value it visualizes. You cannot interact with a gauge by making selections.
