# Gauge Types

## Content



Xamarin Edition comprises of three kinds of gauges: [LinearGauge](/componentone/api/xamarin/online-forms/dotnet-api/C1.Xamarin.Forms.Gauge/C1.Xamarin.Forms.Gauge.C1LinearGauge.html), [RadialGauge](/componentone/api/xamarin/online-forms/dotnet-api/C1.Xamarin.Forms.Gauge/C1.Xamarin.Forms.Gauge.C1RadialGauge.html) and [BulletGraph](/componentone/api/xamarin/online-forms/dotnet-api/C1.Xamarin.Forms.Gauge/C1.Xamarin.Forms.Gauge.C1BulletGraph.html).

|   **Type**   |   **Image**   |   **Usage**   |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Linear Gauge**: A linear gauge displays the value along a linear scale, using a linear pointer. The linear scale can be either horizontal or vertical, which can be set using the LinearGaugeDirection property. |   ![](https://cdn.mescius.io/document-site-files/images/fb6b46a2-eac0-487c-84c3-5e1b4c7b1348/images/lineargauge.png)   |   A linear gauge is commonly used to denote data as a scale value such as length, temperature, etc.   |
|   **Radial Gauge**: A radial gauge displays the value along a circular scale, using a curved pointer. The scale can be rotated as defined by the [StartAngle](/componentone/api/xamarin/online-forms/dotnet-api/C1.Xamarin.Forms.Gauge/C1.Xamarin.Forms.Gauge.C1RadialGauge.StartAngle.html) and [SweepAngle](/componentone/api/xamarin/online-forms/dotnet-api/C1.Xamarin.Forms.Gauge/C1.Xamarin.Forms.Gauge.C1RadialGauge.SweepAngle.html) properties. It also provides [IsReversed](/componentone/api/xamarin/online-forms/dotnet-api/C1.Xamarin.Forms.Gauge/C1.Xamarin.Forms.Gauge.C1RadialGauge.IsReversed.html) property to reorient the radial gauge so that it is drawn reversed (counter-clockwise).   |   ![](https://cdn.mescius.io/document-site-files/images/fb6b46a2-eac0-487c-84c3-5e1b4c7b1348/images/radialgauge.png)![](https://cdn.mescius.io/document-site-files/images/fb6b46a2-eac0-487c-84c3-5e1b4c7b1348/images/radialguage_reversed.png)   |   A radial gauge is commonly used to denote data such as volume, velocity, etc.   |
| **Bullet Graph**: A bullet graph displays a single value on a linear scale, along with a target value and ranges that instantly indicate whether the value is [Good](/componentone/api/xamarin/online-forms/dotnet-api/C1.Xamarin.Forms.Gauge/C1.Xamarin.Forms.Gauge.C1BulletGraph.Good.html), [Bad](/componentone/api/xamarin/online-forms/dotnet-api/C1.Xamarin.Forms.Gauge/C1.Xamarin.Forms.Gauge.C1BulletGraph.Bad.html) or in some other state. |   ![](https://cdn.mescius.io/document-site-files/images/fb6b46a2-eac0-487c-84c3-5e1b4c7b1348/images/bulletgraph.png)   |   A bullet graph is a variant of a linear gauge, designed specifically for use in dashboards that display a number of single value data, such as yearly sales revenue.   |
