ChartDirector 7.0 (PHP Edition)

Icon Angular Meter




This example demonstrates a fuel-tank like meters, in which the meter is labelled by an icon and the scale shows text abbreviations.

The scale labels on the meter is created by using BaseMeter.setScale2. The icon is created by adding a text box with BaseChart.addText and using CDML to specify an icon.
