tick

Description

The "tick" tag is used inside a "dialseries" to add one or more marks or "ticks" to the face of the dial. Either the "angle" attribute must be specified, to draw a single tick, or the "startangle", "endangle" and "step" attributes must be specified to draw a number of evenly-spaced ticks.

Examples

Example: Adding a single tick to a dialgraph

<dialgraph width="300" height="300">
  <segment startangle="-90" endangle="90" inner="0" outer="100" color="green" />
  <needle angle="30" />
  <tick angle="80" inner="90" outer="100" />
</dialgraph>

Example: Adding 12 ticks to a dialgraph

<dialgraph height="400" width="400">
  <segment startangle="0" endangle="360" inner="0" outer="100" color="#FEE" />
  <tick startangle="0" endangle="360" step="30" inner="95" outer="100" color="black" />
  <needle angle="0" waist="30" waistwidth="10" end="100" color="black" />
  <needle angle="60" waist="30" waistwidth="10" end="60" color="black" />
</dialgraph>

The color to use as the border color for the specified object. May be "none" to not draw a border for this object.

Definition: Style.setBorderColor()

XML / Tag Library

Description

The thickness to draw the borders for this object, except for lineseries and functionseries objects when the graph is being drawn in 2D, in which case this attribute, as you would expect, sets the thickness of the lines.

Definition: Style.setLineThickness()

XML / Tag Library

Description

The dashing pattern to use to draw the borders for this object (for 2D lineseries this functions the same as the linethickness attribute). An even number of parameters that are > 0 must be specified, where the first in each pair is the length of the dash, the second is the length of the space. Examples would be dash="5,5" to create a regular dash pattern, or dash="6,2,2,2" to create a dash/dot type pattern.
