In this example, we'll add tick labels to the tick marks on our gauge.

1.  Click the **ellipsis** button next to the [Gauges](/componentone/docs/win/online-gauges/) property in the Properties window. The **C1Gauge.Gauges Collection Editor** dialog box opens.
2.  Click the **ellipsis** button next to **Decorators**. The **Decorators Collection Editor** opens.
3.  From the **Decorators Collection Editor**, drop-down the **Add** button and select [C1GaugeLabels](/componentone/docs/win/online-gauges/). These will be the numeric labels that display by each tick-mark.
4.  Set the [Color](/componentone/docs/win/online-gauges/) property to **DarkGray**.
5.  Set the [Interval](/componentone/docs/win/online-gauges/) property to **10**. This will display a label at every 10th interval from our minimum to our maximum (specified by the minimum and maximum properties set at the gauge level).<br />![Setting interval](https://cdn.mescius.io/document-site-files/images/2003d53a-81bd-40aa-82c0-56cd09293e5d/imagesext/image12_6.png)
6.  To customize when the labels start, we can override the minimum and maximum at the Labels level by setting the **From** and **To** properties. For example, let’s only display labels on values **20** and higher. Set the [From](/componentone/docs/win/online-gauges/) property to **20**. Notice the first two labels are gone.
7.  To rotate the labels, set the [IsRotated](/componentone/docs/win/online-gauges/) property to **True**. Set the [TextAngle](/componentone/docs/win/online-gauges/) property to further customize the rotation of these labels.
8.  Set the [FontSize](/componentone/docs/win/online-gauges/) property to **10**.
9.  Click **OK** to close the **Decorators** **Collection Editor**.
