Digital Gauge in NPM

contracer

Hi:

Is there any way to insert a digital gauge in NPM ?

I only found analog gauges in NPM.

any update on getting digital gauges? I entered a feature request for this awhile ago before I signed up for thwack.

I would like to add my support for a digital gauge - very useful for things like UPS time remaining.

Would also be usefull with the addition of trend movement indicator like you see on stock market reports (a green up arrow when increasing or a red down arrow when decreasing).

Thanks,

Dog

I work on the UX team at SolarWinds, and it would be very helpful if someone could attach a screenshot of a digital gauge. Thank you!

Hi Annie, nice to hear from you.

Here is the gauge idea, its based on the stock market values shown on finance.yahoo.com where the current price of the stock is shown, followed by a trend arrow ( agreen "up" arrow or a red "down" arrow) when compared to the previous poll value.

I've attached cropped images to give the idea, though as these are currency values you may wish to recreate something with user configurable decimal places.

For some reason the up arrow doesn't appear as large as the down - very strange.

Whilst I have you can I suggest that we have some gauges that show the waring/critical coloration (typically orange or red) at the low end of the scale. This gives a better impression of a something running out. Fusion charts have some widget gauges that you may wish to get some idea from (url Experience delightful data visualizations in action | FusionCharts ). Two in particular I like are

Animated Angular Gauge with trend-points from FusionCharts Suite

and

Animated Vertical LED Gauge from FusionCharts Suite

Please don't hesitate if I can help further.

Best wishes,

Roger

We're looking in to these ideas, they're good ones.
