is an option for gauge functions that describes how to position the scale on the gauge.
ScaleOrigin
is an option for gauge functions that describes how to position the scale on the gauge.
Details
- In gauges with linear axes, ScaleOrigin can take the following values using the default vertical scale orientation for reference:
-
r horizontal postion of the scale of the scale{ymin,ymax} vertical locations of min and max for the scale{horizontal,vertical} horizontal and vertical locations for the scale
- In gauges with circular axes, ScaleOrigin can take the following values:
-
r radius of the scale{θmin,θmax} angular locations of min and max for the scale{angle,r} angular and radial origins for the scale
Examples
Basic Examples (4)
Use ScaleOrigin to specify a horizontal or radial offset for the scale:
Specify endpoint positions or angles for the scale:
Use a relative location for the center of the scale:
Specify a horizontal position and vertical extent for the scale:
Specify a radial and angular position for the scale:
