With every release of DevExpress VCL, we add more controls and features for data visualization. Many applications these days are growing into business analysis systems: data crunching and the presentation of results in the clearest way possible to allow for efficient understanding. Dashboards are a prime example of this scenario.
With v14.2 we’re adding a new control to DevExpress VCL to help you in conveying usable information at a glance in your dashboards, the Gauge Control.
Using the VCL Gauge Control you can communicate appropriate information with a variety of types: circular, linear, and digital.
We’re providing the following types of gauges with v14.2: Circular (full, half, and quarter); Linear (horizontal and vertical); Digital (using 7 or 14 segments). The gauges are available in both unbound or data-aware versions. Having chosen a gauge type, you can then select from a dozen built-in styles, or create your own.
Please be aware that the Gauge Control only supports RAD Studio 2010 or later (and in particular it supports the entire XE-series, for both 32-bit and 64-bit). We do not provide support for Delphi 7 or Delphi 2007 with this control.
