Gauge
Beans Version 1.3.0
A gauge is a visual device that displays a single value that can vary continually within a range. Gauges can include traditional-style circular gauges to LED displays, counters, and sliders as well as innovative and unusual devices.
You can use any of the Gauge Beans in your Java applets or applications, or you can create your own gauge. You can connect a gauge to a data source, set its value range and, for some gauges, set visual aspects.
For example, you could use the Thermometer to display the progress toward a goal, update its value every 30 seconds, and make it oscillate when it changes value.
All gauges are Swing components, and embrace the Swing philosophy of model-view separation. All gauges have a gauge model which may be accessed, replaced and shared with other gauges, allowing multiple gauge views to represent a single gauge model.
