Multiple needles in a single Gauge Graph
Hi,

Is there any way by which I can implement two needles in a single gauge graph?

Let us say I want to track the values of two database fields on the same gauge graph. How can I accomplish this?

Please help!!! Needless to say, any existing and working code snippet would be more than welcome.

Thanks.

Any updates on this one? I am looking for this too.

The closest I have got to it is by creating another dummy band, that would indicate the second value (the value to which the second pointer/needle would point to).

But it would be so much better if we can have two pointers in the same Gauge Graph.

I tried to display two values using the gui to build the graph and this is the message you get:
  0 NUMBER OF RECORDS IN GRAPH=        4  PLOT POINTS=      2
 (FOC32417) GAUGE1 CHARTS CANNOT HAVE MORE THAN ONE SERIES


In the Advanced Graph Assistant the description of the Gauge Chart is: A chart that shows the value of a single data point.

In addition the manual has no options for multiple needles, nor for a legend, which you would need to somehow differentiate the two needles being displayed.

You need to choose another type of graph.
