SharpShooter Gauges allows the creation of digital dashboards, KPI, scorecards, and other data visualization applications. The SharpShooter Gauges library includes more than 80 ready-made gauges. Full-featured graphics editor allows creating new visual components with the unique look and functionality by means of only a few mouse clicks using the product library or from scratch. It can be both common controls such as Progress Bars, Meters, Dials, Sliders, Gauges, Odometers, Thermometers, Switches etc. and specialized elements for your industry: Manipulators, Scales, Special-Purpose Devices and many others. The well-designed architecture of SharpShooter Gauges provides an opportunity to use multiple elements in a single gauge, for example, you can use multiple scales, sliders, pointers, and any other gauge elements. Each element has its own functionality and properties which can be edited as you go. SharpShooter Gauges will help you fulfill your potential and create professional data visualization applications.

Instruments Design:

• Easy-to-use designer allows visual creation of an instrument with the help of more simple elements, included in it in different combinations, and also to set and edit the separate properties of the primitives;
• Built-in expression language provides elements interaction and ability to assign the required instrument functionality;
• Expression Editor provides a convenient visual interface for writing expressions using all available expression language constructions and elements available for viewing and editing;
• Ability to create custom functions;
• Support for double buffering;
• Extensive package of 3D skins;
• Use of advanced GDI+ capabilities (gradient fills, alpha blending, antialiasing, etc.);
• High-level elements such as RangedLevel, LinearLevel, Tank, ScaleTitle, ScaleMarks, Highlight, Gear considerably facilitates the process of complex gauges creation;
• Template-based model of control design, availability of the wizard, and powerful graphics editor provides the opportunity to design unique visual controls in a couple of minutes;
• Full customization of instruments and their properties;
• Ability to save newly-created custom controls, as well as control templates, to a file for further editing and reuse;
• Wide range of export options – SVG, GIF, BMP, PNG, JPG, and Flash.

Instrument Model:

• A rich library includes such controls as ProgressBars, Meters, Dials, Sliders, Gauges, Odometers, Thermometers, Switches, and so on;
• The layout management system allows the creation of automatic layouts of such scale elements as ticks and labels taking into account specified values, font size, etc;
• Ability to assign interactive and complex behavior to any objects without coding;
• Ability to assign different styles from collection or custom styles to the controls.
