Labels placement when in donut mode about justgage HOT 4 CLOSED

Hi Luis,

Thing is, you don't actually need no labels when in donut mode. I should probably turn off labels by default when in donut mode. For now, you can use showMinMax to turn them off explicitly.

Thanks for noticing this

Hello Bojan, thanks for your reply.

I guess what you say makes sense, although i still see the use case for donut mode with custom ranges, case in which would make sense to show labels for context.

Thanks.

If I get you right, you are talking about labels that can be placed randomly, at any particular position along the gauge, to represent a certain value which is important in specific context, right?

Few people have expressed need for similar thing in regular/gauge mode, too.

I am only afraid of overkilling it with features which are not essential.
After all, it's "just" gauge ;)

You are, of course, welcome to alter my opinion by providing enough arguments (say, concrete examples of usage) :)

Cheers.

I see your point, and put like that seems reasonable.

The use case im looking for is, once again, in the energy management field, where i have different devices different energy ranges (min/max readings). The goal would be to use donut gauges for them, while still providing info about the different context for each device.

Anyway, i get it may be a very specific need that dont fit the context of general use plugin. It shouldn't be something hard to achieve, so i'l try it when i get to that point of the project.

Thanks again Bojan for all the support and excellent plugin.
