Draw a gauge chart
A gauge chart is a type of data visualization that looks a lot like a speedometer you'd see in a car. It's designed to show a single value on a scale to let you quickly see how it's performing against a goal or a target.
Parameters
Elements / attributes of the <gaugechart> element:
Coordinate parameters (required) that define the print area of the chart
<x1> Starting X coordinate (upper/left corner)
<y1> Starting Y coordinate (upper/left corner)
<x2> Ending X coordinate (bottom/right corner)
<y2> Ending Y coordinate (bottom/right corner)
Parameters that define the appearance of the graph:
<minValue> (numeric, float) Chart min value
<maxValue> (numeric, float) Chart max value
<value> (numeric, float) Chart value to display
<border> Show or hide border. Possibile values:
0 Disable (hide) border
1 Enabled (show) border
1111 Enabled (shows) the border for each side of the frame area (left, top, right, bottom). You can show/hide each side of the border individually.
<radius> (numeric, float) Graph radius (0 : auto, the radius will be calculated so that the graphic fills the print area)
<title> (string) Chart title
<legend> Optional chart legend (if defined)
<segmentlist> Defines the segments that represent the different sections of the chart. Optional. If no segments are defined, a single default segment will be used.
Optional parameters:
<printif>: A simple expression prints this graphic element only if it evaluates to true. If it is not defined, the element is always printed.
The expression must be written using placeholders or constants and one of these comparison operators:
= (identical)
> (greater than)
< (less than)
>= (greater than or equal to)
<= (less than or equal to)
!= (not equal to)
Examples of expressions using placeholders/constants:
{data_set.doc_type}=1
{data_set.level}>={MIN_LEVEL}
