Gauge supports 3 types of pointers such as Needle
, RangeBar
and Marker
. You can choose any one of the pointer by using type
property.
Needle Pointers
A needle pointer contains three parts, a needle, a cap / knob and a tail. The length of the needle can be customized by using radius
property. The length of the tail can be customized by using length
property. The radius of the cap can be customized by using radius
in cap object. The needle and tail length takes value either in percentage
or pixel
.

RangeBar Pointer
RangeBar pointer is like ranges in an axis, that can be placed on gauge to mark the pointer value. RangeBar starts from the beginning of the gauge and ends at the pointer value.
@using Syncfusion.EJ2;
@using Syncfusion.EJ2.CircularGauge;
@Html.EJS().CircularGauge("circular").Axes(axes => axes
.Pointers(pointer => pointer.Value(50).Type(PointerType.RangeBar).Radius("50%").Add())
.Add()).Render()

using Newtonsoft.Json;
namespace EJ2_Core_Application.Controllers
{
public class HomeController : Controller
{
public IActionResult Index()
{
return View();
}
}
}
Customization
RangeBar can be customized in terms of color, border and thickness by using color
, border
and pointerWidth
property.
@using Syncfusion.EJ2.CircularGauge;
@using Syncfusion.EJ2;
@Html.EJS().CircularGauge("circular").Axes(axes => axes
.Pointers(pointer => pointer.Value(50).Type(PointerType.RangeBar).Radius("50%")
.Color("#007DD1").PointerWidth(15)
.Border(border =>border.Color("grey").Width(2)).Add())
.Add()).Render()
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc;
namespace EJ2_Core_Application.Controllers
{
public class HomeController : Controller
{
public IActionResult Index()
{
return View();
}
}
}
Rounded corner for range bar pointer
The start and end pointers of range bar in the circular gauge are rounded to form arc gauges.
@using Syncfusion.EJ2.CircularGauge;
@using Syncfusion.EJ2;
@Html.EJS().CircularGauge("circular").Axes(axes => axes
.Pointers(pointer => pointer.Value(50).Type(PointerType.RangeBar)
.Radius("50%").RoundedCornerRadius(6).Add())
.Add()).Render()
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.Linq;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc;
using EJ2_Core_Application.Models;
using Newtonsoft.Json;
namespace EJ2_Core_Application.Controllers
{
public class HomeController : Controller
{
public IActionResult Index()
{
return View();
}
}
}
Marker Pointer
Different type of marker shape can be used to mark the pointer value in axis. You can change the marker shape using markerShape
property in pointer. Gauge supports the below marker shape.
- Circle
- Rectangle
- Triangle
- InvertedTriangle
- Diamond
The image can be used instead of rendering marker shape to denote the pointer value. It can be achieved by setting markerShape
to Image and assigning image path to imageUrl
in pointer.
@using Syncfusion.EJ2;
@using Syncfusion.EJ2.CircularGauge;
@Html.EJS().CircularGauge("circular").Axes(axes => axes
.Pointers(pointer => pointer.Value(50).Type(PointerType.Marker)
.Radius("100%").MarkerShape(GaugeShape.InvertedTriangle).MarkerWidth(15).MarkerHeight(15).Add())
.Add()).Render()
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.Linq;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc;
using EJ2_Core_Application.Models;
using Newtonsoft.Json;
namespace EJ2_Core_Application.Controllers
{
public class HomeController : Controller
{
public IActionResult Index()
{
return View();
}
}
}
Customization
The marker can be customized in terms of color, border, width and height by using color
, border
, markerWidth
and markerHeight
property in pointer
.
@using Syncfusion.EJ2;
@using Syncfusion.EJ2.CircularGauge;
@Html.EJS().CircularGauge("circular").Axes(axes => axes
.Pointers(pointer => pointer.Value(50).Type(PointerType.Marker).Color("white")
.Border(border =>border.Color("#007DD1").Width(2))
.Radius("100%").MarkerShape(GaugeShape.InvertedTriangle).MarkerWidth(15).MarkerHeight(15).Add())
.Add()).Render()
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc;
namespace EJ2_Core_Application.Controllers
{
public class HomeController : Controller
{
public IActionResult Index()
{
return View();
}
}
}
Dragging Pointer
The pointers can be dragged over the axis line by clicking and dragging the same. To enable or disable the pointer drag, use the EnablePointerDrag
property.
@using Syncfusion.EJ2;
@Html.EJS().CircularGauge("circular").Height("250px").Width("250px").EnablePointerDrag(true).Axes(axes => axes
.Pointers(pointer => pointer.Value(50)
.Add())
.Add()).Render()
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.Linq;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc;
using EJ2_Core_Application.Models;
using Newtonsoft.Json;
namespace EJ2_Core_Application.Controllers
{
public class HomeController : Controller
{
public IActionResult Index()
{
return View();
}
}
}
Multiple Pointers
In addition to the default pointer, you can add n number of pointer to an axis by using pointers
property.
@using Syncfusion.EJ2;
@using Syncfusion.EJ2.CircularGauge;
@Html.EJS().CircularGauge("circular").Axes(axes => axes
.Pointers(pointer => {
pointer.Value(90).Type(PointerType.Marker)
.Radius("100%").MarkerShape(GaugeShape.Triangle).MarkerWidth(15).MarkerHeight(15).Add();
pointer.Value(90).Type(PointerType.RangeBar).Radius("60%").PointerWidth(10).Add();
pointer.Value(90).NeedleTail(nt => nt.Length("22%")).PointerWidth(20)
.Cap(cap => cap.Radius(15).Border(border => border.Width(5))).Radius("60%").Add();
})
.Add()).Render()
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.Linq;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc;
using EJ2_Core_Application.Models;
using Newtonsoft.Json;
namespace EJ2_Core_Application.Controllers
{
public class HomeController : Controller
{
public IActionResult Index()
{
return View();
}
}
}
Animation
Pointer will get animate on loading the gauge, this can be handled by using animation
property in pointer. The enable
property in animation allows to enable or disable the animation. The duration
property specifies the duration of the animation in milliseconds.
@using Syncfusion.EJ2;
@using Syncfusion.EJ2.CircularGauge;
@Html.EJS().CircularGauge("circular").Axes(axes => axes
.Pointers(pointer => {
pointer.Value(90).Type(PointerType.Marker).Animation(animation => animation.Enable(true).Duration(500))
.Radius("100%").MarkerShape(GaugeShape.Triangle).MarkerWidth(15).MarkerHeight(15).Add();
pointer.Value(90).Type(PointerType.RangeBar).Radius("60%").PointerWidth(10).Add();
pointer.Value(90).NeedleTail(nt => nt.Length("22%")).PointerWidth(20)
.Cap(cap => cap.Radius(15).Border(border => border.Width(5))).Radius("60%").Add();
})
.Add()).Render()
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.Linq;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc;
using EJ2_Core_Application.Models;
using Newtonsoft.Json;

}
}
Gradient Color
Gradient support allows to add multiple colors in the range and pointer of the circular gauge. The following gradient types are supported in the circular gauge.
- Linear Gradient
- Radial Gradient
Linear Gradient
Using linear gradient, colors will be applied in a linear progression. The start value of the linear gradient will be set using the startValue
property. The end value of the linear gradient will be set using the endValue
property. The color stop values such as color, opacity and offset are set using colorStop
property.
The linear gradient can be applied to all pointer types like marker, range bar and needle.
@using Syncfusion.EJ2.CircularGauge;
@using Syncfusion.EJ2;
@Html.EJS().CircularGauge("container").Load("onGaugeLoad").Axes(axes => axes.Radius("90%").StartAngle(270).EndAngle(90)
.LineStyle(new CircularGaugeLine{ Width = 3, Color = "#E63B86" }).LabelStyle(new CircularGaugeLabel
{
Font = new CircularGaugeFont { Size = "0px" }
}).MajorTicks(new CircularGaugeTick
{
Height = 0,
Color = "transparent"
})
.MinorTicks(new CircularGaugeTick
{
Height = 0,
Color = "transparent"
}).Minimum(0).Maximum(100).Add()).Render()
<script>
var pointerLinearGradient = {
startValue: '0%',
endValue: '100%',
colorStop: [
{ color: '#FEF3F9', offset: '0%', opacity: 0.9 },
{ color: '#E63B86', offset: '70%', opacity: 0.9 }]
}
function onGaugeLoad(sender) {
sender.gauge.axes[0].pointers = [{

Radial Gradient
Using radial gradient, colors will be applied in circular progression. The inner circle position of the radial gradient will be set using the innerPosition
property. The outer circle position of the radial gradient can be set using the outerPosition
property. The color stop values such as color, opacity and offset are set using colorStop
property.
The radial gradient can be applied to all pointer types like marker, range bar and needle.
