ChartDirector 7.0 (PHP Edition)

Color Horizontal Linear Meters


          

This example demonstrates horizontal linear meters in various colors, with different color scales, and with title and value readout.

BaseMeter.addColorScale is used to create the color scales in the meters. The color scales are created by with different colors, different end point positions and different widths at the end points.

The title and value readout are created using BaseChart.addText. The value readout is configured to have a black background and a depressed border using Box.setBackground, and with rounded corners using Box.setRoundedCorners.
