Overall Layout

GaugeMaster Pro is divided into three dedicated functional areas:

Operation	Location	Description
Layers	Left Sidebar	Manage all the layers that make up your gauge.
Canvas	Center	Drawing area where you can interact directly with your gauge components,
Settings	Right Sidebar	All the settings for Layers, Gauge and Canvas.

These areas are related to each other, with the Layers defining the components of your Gauge, while the Settings establish how those components are represented on the Canvas. The Canvas will show at all times the resulting Gauge, which is what you will eventually export or print.

It’s All About the Layers

GaugeMaster Pro is a layer based design app, allowing for unlimited design freedom to combine as many of the available layers as required by your gauge creations.

The app has two main types of layers, Arc layers and Detail layers. Arc layers are used to add the arcs and scales that make up a gauge. Detail layers are used to add one-off items, like labels or logos usually required to complete a gauge design.

Layers Common Settings

There are a couple of general settings that are available on most layers, color and fonts, so these are described in detail on Layers Common Settings.

Arc Layers

All Arc layers share some common geometry settings described thoroughly on Arc Layers Geometry Settings.

Besides the geometry settings, each layer will have specific settings for its content and formatting:

• Color Arc Layer
• Tickmarks Arc Layer
• Text Arc Layer

Detail Layers

Like with Arc layers, all Detail layers share some common geometry settings described in detail on Detail Layers Geometry Settings.

Besides the geometry settings, each layer will have specific settings for its content and formatting:

• Text Detail Layer
• Image Detail Layer
• Shape Detail Layer
