LinearGauge Pointer and Range Size

Updated on Aug 24, 2026

Configure Ranges Size

Changing the width of the ranges in RadLinearGauge can be done through the Size property of the MinorTicks:

ASP.NET

<telerik:RadLinearGauge runat="server" id="RadLinearGauge_MinorTicksSize" Height="100px" Width="300px">
	<Pointer Value="22" Color="Silver">
	</Pointer>
	<Scale Min="-25" Max="50" MajorUnit="15" MinorUnit="1" MajorTicks-Size="50" MinorTicks-Size="25" Vertical="false">
		<Labels Format="{0} &deg;C" />
		<Ranges>
			<telerik:GaugeRange From="-25" To="-5" Color="Blue" />
			<telerik:GaugeRange From="-5" To="15" Color="LightBlue" />
			<telerik:GaugeRange From="15" To="30" Color="GreenYellow" />
			<telerik:GaugeRange From="30" To="50" Color="Red" />
		</Ranges>
	</Scale>
</telerik:RadLinearGauge>

MinorTick size property is set to "25":

gauge-range-size-1

MinorTick size property is set to "40":

gauge-range-size-2

Configure Pointer Size

When shape property of the Pointer is set to BarIndicator - the width of the Track must be used
When shape property of the Pointer is set to Arrow - the size of the Pointer must be used

If Pointer size of the LinearGauge is not set it will be set proportionately by the current size of the MajorTicks.

ASP.NET

<telerik:RadLinearGauge runat="server" ID="RadLinearGauge_MajorTicksSize" Height="100px" Width="300px">
	<Pointer Value="22" Color="Silver">
	</Pointer>
	<Scale Min="-25" Max="50" MajorUnit="15" MinorUnit="1" MajorTicks-Size="20" MinorTicks-Size="10" Vertical="false">
		<Labels Format="{0} &deg;C" />
		<Ranges>
			<telerik:GaugeRange From="-25" To="-5" Color="Blue" />
			<telerik:GaugeRange From="-5" To="15" Color="LightBlue" />
			<telerik:GaugeRange From="15" To="30" Color="GreenYellow" />
			<telerik:GaugeRange From="30" To="50" Color="Red" />
		</Ranges>
	</Scale>
</telerik:RadLinearGauge>
