Utilizing Sweep Angle Run-Time Properties

The 2 and 3 point arc, pie, and chord graphic elements contain StartAngle and SweepAngle Appearance properties. These properties can be assigned values in a client script that change during run time to show moving sweep angle or start angle lines as part of arc, pie, and chord graphic elements.

Sweep angle run-time properties are well suited for showing a current value within a range of possible values. For example, the movement of a chord sweep angle can show a pie chart with fill that indicates the current time within a repetitive period. Or, the movement of an arc sweep angle can represent a pointer to the current value within a range of possible values like a tachometer.

To configure sweep angle run-time properties

1. Place an arc, pie, or chord graphic object on the Industrial Graphic Editor canvas.

2. Select the graphic element to show its Properties equipment.items.

3. Assign StartAngle and SweepAngle properties as values of a client script that change based on run-time events.
