Nevron Gauge for SQL Server Reporting Services enables you to add gauges to your SSRS reports. Add linear and radial gauges, LED displays, state indicators or a combination of gauges to any of your reports. You have complete control over a gauge's axes, scales and visual appearance. Advanced functionality such as the included gauge formulas allow you to apply mathematical functions such as min, max and average to a gauge's aggregated data sets and a range of gauge axis features help you to precisely control axis formatting. The gauges work seamlessly with SQL Server Reporting Services 2005 and 2008.

New Features

Nevron Gauge for SSRS 2012 Vol.1 New Features

• Expressions everywhere - Nearly all properties of the Gauge report item can now be specified by expressions. This allows you to bind nearly all configurable aspects of the report item to user defined parameters and/or data.

• Controllable visibility of essential gauge elements - Gauge Areas and Gauge Titles now have controllable visibility.

• Conditional gauge indicator appearance - The filling and stroking of gauge indicators can now be specified with expressions. This allows you to quickly author complex 'color coding' logic.

• Performance improvements - The gauge has been additionally optimised for performance, which reduces the CPU load on the server and leads to smoother design time experience.

• Report item preview improvements - Added was support for three different types of report item preview in the properties dialog: - Normal - shows the report item preview in its exact size and aspect - Fit - fits the report item preview in the preview area by preserving the aspect ratio. - Stretch - stretches the report item preview in the preview area (brakes aspect ratio).

• Report items editing improvements - The control designer is significantly optimised leading to faster designer load time and editing speed.

• New gauge examples - Almost all Gauge examples have been updated, showing some of the Gauge features and visual styling properties using parameters.

Features

Gauge Types

• Radial gauges - display data in a radial/circular view. Radial gauge subtypes include: Radial, Quarter North East, Quarter North West, Quarter South West, Quarter South East, Half North, Half South, Half West, Half East and Custom
• Linear gauges - display data along a horizontal or vertical axis in a linear fashion
• Numeric display gauges - display numeric values in a number of LED style views
• State indicator gauges - typically display one of a set number of pre-defined states - e.g. show a red state if a value is too high

Gauge Features

• Work with SQL Server Reporting Services 2005 and 2008
• Support multiple gauge areas so you can easily add multiple gauges to a single report. Gauge areas can be automatically or manually positioned and can be nested within one another
• Unlimited titles - position gauge titles manually or docked to a specific gauge area
• Apply gauge formulas such as min, max and average to axis ranges (min and max), ranges (begin and end) and pointer and numeric display values

Gauge Axes

• Gauges support an unlimited number of axes, and you have full control over each axis position
• Control over ticks - both major and minor
• Full control over ruler settings
• Axis sections enable you to modify the axis formatting within a specific range of the gauge
• Complete control over axis labelling - including the layout and the formatting

Gauge Indicators

• Gauge indicators highlight a specific range or point along your gauge. You have complete control over the indicators offset, appearance and paint order

Appearance and Rendering

• Render gauges in different image formats, specifying resolution, size, image mapping and more
• Completely control a gauge's appearance including the fill style, stroke style, shadow style and more

Templating

• Save the gauge's appearance properties in XML and then import them in a different report item. This saves time when creating similar gauges.

C# Support

• C# developers can father customise the gauge using the complete Nevron Gauge for .NET API.
