CSHTML

@using Syncfusion.EJ2.LinearGauge;

@Html.EJS().LinearGauge("gauge").Width("200px").Height("400px").Background("skyblue").Border(new Syncfusion.EJ2.LinearGauge.LinearGaugeBorder
    {
        Width = 3, Color = "red"
    }).Margin(new Syncfusion.EJ2.LinearGauge.LinearGaugeMargin {
        Left = 20, Bottom = 20, Right = 20, Top = 20
    }).Axes(new List<Syncfusion.EJ2.LinearGauge.LinearGaugeAxis>
        {
            new Syncfusion.EJ2.LinearGauge.LinearGaugeAxis
            {
            }
        }
    ).Render()

Customizing the Linear Gauge container

The area used to render the ranges and pointers at the center position of the gauge is called container. The following types of container to be applicable for Linear Gauge.

• Normal
• Rounded Rectangle
• Thermometer

The type of the container can be modified by using the Type property in LinearGaugeContainer. The container can be customized by using the following properties and class in LinearGaugeContainer.

• Offset - To place the container with the specified distance from the axis of the Linear Gauge.
• Width - To set the thickness of the container.
• Height - To set the length of the container.
• BackgroundColor - To set the background color of the container.
• Border - To set the color and width for the border of the container.

Normal

The Normal type will render the container as a rectangle and this is the default container type.

CSHTML

@using Syncfusion.EJ2.LinearGauge;

@Html.EJS().LinearGauge("gauge").Container(new Syncfusion.EJ2.LinearGauge.LinearGaugeContainer
{
    Width = 30
}).Axes(new List<Syncfusion.EJ2.LinearGauge.LinearGaugeAxis>
    {
        new Syncfusion.EJ2.LinearGauge.LinearGaugeAxis
        {
            Pointers = new List<LinearGaugePointer>
            {
                new Syncfusion.EJ2.LinearGauge.LinearGaugePointer
                {
                    Type = Point.Bar, Value = 50, Width = 15
                }
            }
        }
    }

        {
            return View();
        }
    }
}

Rounded Rectangle

The RoundedRectangle type will render the container as a rectangle with rounded corner radius. The rounded corner radius of the container can be customized using the RoundedCornerRadius property in LinearGaugeContainer.

CSHTML

@using Syncfusion.EJ2.LinearGauge;

@Html.EJS().LinearGauge("gauge").Container(new Syncfusion.EJ2.LinearGauge.LinearGaugeContainer
{
    Width = 30, Type= ContainerType.RoundedRectangle 
}).Axes(new List<Syncfusion.EJ2.LinearGauge.LinearGaugeAxis>
    {
        new Syncfusion.EJ2.LinearGauge.LinearGaugeAxis
        {
            Pointers = new List<LinearGaugePointer>
            {
                new Syncfusion.EJ2.LinearGauge.LinearGaugePointer
                {
                    Type = Point.Bar, Value = 50, Width = 15
                }
            }
        }
    }

        }
    }
}

Thermometer

The Thermometer type will render the container similar to the appearance of thermometer.

CSHTML

@using Syncfusion.EJ2.LinearGauge;

@Html.EJS().LinearGauge("gauge").Container(new Syncfusion.EJ2.LinearGauge.LinearGaugeContainer
{
    Width = 30, Type= ContainerType.Thermometer 
}).Axes(new List<Syncfusion.EJ2.LinearGauge.LinearGaugeAxis>
    {
        new Syncfusion.EJ2.LinearGauge.LinearGaugeAxis
        {
            Pointers = new List<LinearGaugePointer>
            {
                new Syncfusion.EJ2.LinearGauge.LinearGaugePointer
                {

        {
            return View();
        }
    }
}

Fitting the Linear Gauge to the control

The Linear Gauge component is rendered with margin by default. To remove the margin around the Linear Gauge, the AllowMargin property in the LinearGauge is set as false.

CSHTML

@using Syncfusion.EJ2.LinearGauge;

@Html.EJS().LinearGauge("gauge").AllowMargin(false).Orientation(Orientation.Horizontal).Height("300px").Background("skyblue").Border(new Syncfusion.EJ2.LinearGauge.LinearGaugeBorder
{
    Width = 3, Color = "red"
}).Margin(new Syncfusion.EJ2.LinearGauge.LinearGaugeMargin {
    Left = 0, Bottom = 0, Right = 0, Top = 0
}).Axes(new List<Syncfusion.EJ2.LinearGauge.LinearGaugeAxis>
    {
        new Syncfusion.EJ2.LinearGauge.LinearGaugeAxis
        {
        }
    }
).Render()

Gauge-margin.cs

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;
using Syncfusion.EJ2.Charts;
using Syncfusion.EJ2.LinearGauge;


namespace EJ2_Core_Application.Controllers
{
    public class HomeController : Controller
    {
        public IActionResult Index()
        {
            return View();
        }
    }
}

NOTE

To use this feature, set the AllowMargin property to false, the Width property to 100% and the properties of e-lineargauge-margin to 0.
