Illustrating single values
Dashboard Design offers three component types to display single values—gauges, progress bars, and value component. A gauge and progress bar show data on a scale, while the value component only shows a value in numbers. The gauge is the only component of these three types that has the possibility to show more than one value. There are eight different gauge versions available, and a horizontal and vertical version of the progress bar. All these components are ideally used in combination with Alerts. Alerts will be discussed in Chapter 5.
This recipe will show you how to set up a gauge. The other two component types work in the same way.
