The **LinearGauge** control uses a linear pointer to show a value along a linear scale. You can set the value across the linear frame using the [Value](/componentone/api/wpf/online-gauges-net/dotnet-api/C1.WPF.Gauge/C1.WPF.Gauge.C1Gauge.Value.html) property to display the value you want to display.<br />You can also set the **Min** and **Max** properties of the Linear Gauge to mark the minimum value and maximum gauge values.
