Meter Orientations

For most meters, several orientations are provided in order to give page designers flexibility in how the graphics are laid out.

Mirrored

A mirrored meter reverses the left/right position of some meter elements as shown in the example below. The positions of the running state indicator, rate of change arrow, PV, engineering units, and mode indicator (for control meters) are affected.

Horizontal

The orientation of the meter is changed to horizontal as shown in the example below. Note that the proportions of the alarm border, meter symbol and controller output indicator are slightly different for the horizontal version compared to the vertical version.

Horizontal + Mirrored

Horizontal meters can also be mirrored. Typically, this orientation is used primarily with regular meters rather than control meters.
