Can I add a gauge to a diagram?

[David]

Using the Telerik WPF controls I can specify pretty much whatever content I want by setting the shape's content to a WPF control. Is it possible to do something like that with the Kendo controls (i.e. specify a Circular Gauge as a visual for example) or am I limited to the shapes defined in the diagram (Image, Group, Circle, etc.).?

If not I guess I could overlay HTML elements on top of the diagram but that is a bit of a hack. Is there a better way to do it?

Hi David,

Kendo UI Diagram does not natively support embedding other Kendo UI components (like a Gauge or Button) directly into the shape itself.

You can, however, draw custom shapes. This is done with the shapes.visual property:

https://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/javascript/dataviz/ui/diagram/configuration/shapes.visual

I can suggest submitting a feature request in our Feedback portal if you think adding components to the Diagram shapes would be useful.
