Gauge Style

Context

The Gauge style adds a gauge or dial appearance to a node in the Graph Panel. It is particularly suitable for continuous nodes representing outputs or results.

The Gauge display dynamically updates based on the node’s Value.

Usage

1. Select the node(s) you want to modify.

2. Apply the Gauge style using one of the following methods:

   • Select Menus > View > Node Appearance > Gauge.

   • Select the Gauge icon from the dropdown menu in the Toolbar.

     

   • Select Node Contextual Menu > Properties > Node Style > Gauge.

3. Behavior in different modes:

   • Modeling Mode: The Gauge style shows a color scale but no values.

• Validation Mode: The color scale corresponds to the minimum and maximum values the node can represent.

4. Features:

   • If the node’s value changes due to evidence, the change is displayed as a color band.
   • The numerical delta value is shown at the bottom of the gauge.

5. Customization:

   • Access full customization options via Node Contextual Menu > Properties > Rendering Properties > Edit All.

     

6. Gauge Orientation:

   • You can adjust the orientation based on the interpretation of the values:
     • Negative Gauge Orientation: For lower-is-better values.

• Positive Gauge Orientation: For higher-is-better values.
