My friend Tom Gonzalez who is the owner of BrightPoint Consulting has decided to contribute one of his custom gauge components to the community under the MIT license. Check it out here and please say thanks to Tom for his contribution.

very nice component, I liked it so much
I tried to make a module loader progress display out of it, but I cant get arrow to move towards the 100%, even though numbers do increase
here is demo : http://amostudio.com:8080/fs-demo/Main.html
can you tell me why is it happening? maybe its because component is using a spring type of effect and loader is too fast for it?

Hi Levani,
Glad to see you liked the component.
Your assumption is correct, that is exactly what is happening, you are updating the values faster than the spring effect can finish, thus the odd bouncing that is occurring. It would be possible with not a lot of work that I could expose a boolean like “useSpringEffect” via the gauge that would allow you to turn that on/off and thus get a smoother effect.
If this is a feature you would like to see you please feel free to make a request (and continue this thread) back at my blog so other readers can benefit from the dicussion as well.

Great gauge!
Is there a way to pass the value to the gauge from a cfc? I would like to query my MSSQL DB…have tried several things to no avail…TIA…

@Roy - you could use data binding and have the cfc remote object result event update the variable the gauge is bound to
BTW… fantastic component, I love it!
Im using a new version of degrafa and am getting some weird errors:
Severity and Description Path Resource Location Creation Time Id

Oh and also I think that boolean value to turn off the spring effect would be the icing on the cake!
The effect is great but if the data is updating faster than the spring effect can finish it looks a bit funky
