Circular Bar Graph - Basic Operations

A circular bar graph shows the value of a monitored variable by displaying a circular bar with variable length. When the value of the variable increases or decreases, the length of the circular bar increases or decreases accordingly. A circular bar graph can have a circular scale and the scale enables you to measure the length of the bar and read the current value of the monitored variable. The following table lists the supported styles of circular bar graphs.

Span and Origin 360° & 90° 360° & 0° 360° & 270° 360° & 180°
Example 360 90 360 0 360 270 360 180
