Key Features in UWP Digital Gauge

A digital gauge is composed of segments which are a major UI component of the digital gauge. SfDigitalGauge comprises the following segment types to display the digital characters.

  • 7 Segment Display
  • 14 Segment Display
  • 16 Segment Display
  • 8*8 Dot Matrix Display

7-Segment Display

This type of digital gauge displays the digital characters in 7 segments. It is mainly used to display numbers.

14-Segment Display

This type of digital gauge displays the digital characters in 14 segments. It is mainly used to display both numbers and letters. The additional segments (compared to the 7-segment display) enable it to render a fuller set of alphabetic characters.

16-Segment Display

This type of digital gauge displays the digital characters in 16 segments. It is also mainly used to display both numbers and letters. The two extra segments split the horizontal bars, producing a more evenly lit character that is preferred when a cleaner, split-style appearance is desired.

8 x 8 Dot Matrix Display

This type of digital gauge displays the digital characters in an 8 x 8 dot matrix where the active character dots are highlighted using the RegularBrush property and the remaining (inactive) dots use the DimmedBrush property. It is mainly used to display numbers, letters, and special characters.

Easy to use

SfDigitalGauge is available in the Visual Studio toolbox itself; you can easily drag and drop the control from the toolbox.
