Like a watch or thermometer, the gauge controls include a Face and a Cover. See more demos, documentation, and samples here.

## Content



Like a watch or thermometer, the gauge controls include a **Face** and a **Cover**. The **Face** appears above the background but behind the pointer and decorators, and the **Cover** appears, like a glass over a thermometer, above all other elements. Shapes can be added to the **FaceShapes** and **CoverShapes** collections of the [C1Gauge](/componentone/docs/win/online-gauges/) and [C1GaugeBase](/componentone/docs/win/online-gauges/) objects. Each the shape has the **CenterPointX** and **CenterPointY** properties which define its position in the working area. The default value of these properties is 0.5 (the center of the shape appears in the center of its viewport). Shapes can't have shadow.
