    Change the Office Black theme to support multiple Linear Scales using Expression Blend

    I recently posted an entry regarding the Radial Gauge for WPF where I demonstrated how you can create a half circle gauge.  Not long after that post, I received a question asking about Linear Gauges and how to use multiple scales in a single Linear Gauge.  It is not that there is a functional difference, but rather a visual difference.  The Office Black theme (shown below) has a border area in the middle where the linear gauges were overlapping causing a visual collision.  There are a number of ways that you can accomplish a task and I think one of...

    Presenting data to users can be done in a variety of ways, but gauges offer a unique way to present data with elegance.  Gauges are easily recognized by most users since they see them on a daily basis.  Think about when you drove to work this morning, you probably looked at your car dashboard which may have looked similar to the picture below.  You knew your speed, fuel status and a number of other important metrics at a glance.  Well, the RadGauge for WPF gives you the ability to implement this same powerful concept in your applications In this post, I...

    WPF/ Silverlight: RadGauge Layout Composition

    Today I would like to highlight one of the newest controls added to the WPF / Silverlight control suites in November – the RadGauge control. RadGauge combines its rich assortment of radial, linear and numeric gauge types with very flexible layout composition abilities thus allowing you to attain a new level of data visualization quickly and easily. Let us discuss the basics of the layout composition and how it is implemented in the gauge control. There are three levels of controls that participate in the layout: RadGauge LinearGauge / RadialGauge LinearScale / RadialScale / NumericScale   RadGauge is the top level class but as far as the control...
