# Creating Linear Gauge

One of the gauges you can create with the **RadGauge** suite, is a linear gauge. It is represented by a rectangular container with a linear scale in it. Additionally, it can display various indicators that point to a certain value on the scale. This topic will walk you through the creation of a sample application that contains a linear RadGauge.

## Assembly References

In order to use the controls from the **RadGauge** suite in your projects, you have to add references to the following assemblies:

* `Telerik.WinUI.Controls.dll`
* `Telerik.Licensing.Runtime.dll`

## Defining a Linear Gauge

The linear gauge type is represented by the **RadLinearGauge** class. It is a linear scale, which can display multiple scales and ranges.

#### **Example 1: Creating RadLinearGauge**

```XAML
<Grid xmlns:dataVisualization="using:Telerik.UI.Xaml.Controls.DataVisualization">
	<dataVisualization:RadLinearGauge Height="200" MaxValue="50" LabelOffset="-10" telerik:RadLinearGauge.Orientation="Vertical" />
</Grid>
```
