• Gauge Types - Nevron Gauge for SharePoint provides support for various Radial (Circular) Gauges, Linear Gauges, Numeric Display panels and State Indicators.
• Gauge Formulas - Gauges are designed to provide data analysis to sets of numeric values. Gauge formulas can be applied to the aggregated sets applicable to axis ranges {min and max}, ranges {begin and end} and pointer and numeric display values. Nevron Gauge for SharePoint includes various types of data analysis formulas like: Min, Max, Average and more.
• Gauge Axes - Nevron Gauge for SharePoint radial and linear gauge types support an unlimited number of axes, packed with a complete set of features designed to solve even the most complex gauge requirements.
• Gauge Axes Ranges - Nevron radial and linear gauge types support an unlimited number of ranges. Ranges help you visualize the coverage of a values range on a certain axis.
• Gauge Pointers - Radial and linear gauge types support an unlimited number of pointers. Pointers help you visualize a value on a certain axis. Radial gauges support numerous needle styles. Both linear and radial gauges can display pointers as markers.

Gauge Types:

• Radial / Circular Gauges - Nevron Radial Gauge displays axes, ranges and pointers in a circular fashion. Radial Gauge Subtypes: Radial, Quarter North East, Quarter North West, Quarter South West, Quarter South East, Half North, Half South, Half West, Half East and Custom. When using Custom subtype the user can specify custom begin angle, sweep angle, border style etc.
• Linear Gauges - Nevron Linear Gauge displays axes, ranges and pointers in a linear fashion. Linear Gauge Subtypes: Horizontal and Vertical.
• Numeric Display - Nevron Numeric Display panel displays values in a fashion similar to a LED displays. Numeric Display Styles: Seven Segment Normal, Seven Segment Rounded, Seven Segment Rectangular, Fourteen Segment Normal, Fourteen Segment Rectangular, Fourteen SegmentInset, Matrix Rectangle and Matrix Circle.
• State Indicators - Nevron State Indicators are supplementary gauges, typically used to visually prompt the user that a value has entered a critical range.

Gauge Axes Features:

• Unlimited Number of Axes per Gauge -Radial and Linear gauge types support an unlimited number of axes, packed with a complete set of features designed to solve even the most complex gauge requirements.
• Advanced Axis Positioning Options -Axes can be docked to the gauge sides (or rim) or arbitrary positioned in the gauge model space. In addition you have control over the begin / end axis position relative to the gauge area.
• Ruler - Control over the ruler position and appearance.
• Ticks - Support for major and minor ticks with control over their appearance and position.
• Axis Stripes - Axis Stripes highlight repeating ranges of data on the gauge background, with a controllable show/hide pattern.
• Axis Sections - Axis Sections conditionally modify the appearance of axis ticks, gridlines and labels, provided they are within a user-specified data range(s). This feature helps you to highlight important ranges of data along the axis.
• Label Layout - Nevron Gauge for SharePoint provides advanced axis-label layout options, which let you resolve complex axis-label overlapping cases.
• Label Formatting - Label Formatting controls the formatting of values along numeric scales. Many advanced options for currency, percentage, scientific and date time label formatting are available.

Gauge Indicator Features:

• Unlimited number of Indicators -Linear and Radial Gauges support an unlimited number of pointer and range indicators.
• Ranges - Ranges help you visualize the coverage of a values range on a certain axis. You have full control over the range offset from scale, appearance and paint order.
• Pointers - Pointers help you visualize a value on a certain axis. Radial gauges support numerous needle styles. Both linear and radial gauges can display pointers as markers. Both marker and needle pointers allow you to have full control over the pointer offset from scale, appearance and paint order.

Data Aggregation Features:
Nevron Gauge for SharePoint uses the Nevron Pivot Data Aggregation Engine. The pivot data aggregation capabilities embedded in the product are only comparable to the ones provided by leading reporting tools. However none of these solutions provides this level of flexibility and ease of configuration inside SharePoint nor the advanced data visualization of Nevron.

In Nevron Gauge for SharePoint you use expressions to define how the data is grouped, filtered and sorted. Expressions can reference field values from the data set and you can use numerous mathematical, statistical, logical, date-time, and text functions to define complex grouping, filtering and sorting rules. Special aggregate functions are available for computing aggregate values (like sum, average etc.).

Because the Nevron Pivot Data Aggregation Engine is data source invariant, this allows you to create your gauges from any data source, which can provide a table representation of its data.

Because Nevron Gauge for SharePoint and Nevron Gauge for Reporting Services are built on top of the Nevron Pivot Component framework, they are generally having the same functionality and features. This helps you streamline your IT reporting efforts and reduce your IT staff learning curve - be it SharePoint or Reporting Services - you know that Nevron provides the same powerful and consistent functionality to your gauges.

Gauge Formulas:
Gauges are designed to provide data analysis to sets of numeric values. Gauge formulas can be applied to the aggregated sets applicable to axis ranges {min and max}, ranges {begin and end} and pointer and numeric display values. Supported are the following gauge formulas:

• Min - finds the min value from a set.
• Max - finds the max value from a set.
• Average - finds the average value from a set.
• Median - finds the value that splits the set in half (e.g. half of the values are smaller than median value and half are larger).
• First - gets the first value from a set.
• Last - gets the last value from a set.
• Sum - gets the sum of all values in the set.
• Count - gets the count of the values in the set.
• Percentile - finds the value that splits the set in a custom percent.
• Variance - the variance is used to measure the tendency of the values in the set to deviate from the average.
• Standard Deviation - Returns the standard deviation of the values in the set.

Rendering:

• Support for different image formats
• Image sizing options
• Gray scale rendering
• On/off image map rendering
• Control over text and geometry antialiasing
• Control over the currently used culture settings. You can select a custom culture or synchronize the currently used culture with the user regional settings.

Appearance Customizations:

• Fill Style editor - helps you define the filling of an element. Provides options for solid color, gradient, image and advanced gradient fill types.
• Stroke Style editor - helps you define the outline/stroke of an element. Provides options for line caps and joins, line pattern and color.
• Shadow Style editor - helps you define the shadow which is casted by an element. Provides options for solid, linear, radial blur and gaussian blur shadows.

• Frame Style editor - helps you define the frame of the component and its panels. Supports artistic/image borders.
• Gauge Code Customization - Nevron Gauge for SharePoint supports customization through C# or VB.NET code, which allows you to use the full Nevron Chart for .NET API in SharePoint.

Competitive Advantage Features:

• Advanced Pivot Aggregation - The pivot data aggregation capabilities embedded in Nevron Gauge for SharePoint are only comparable to the ones provided by leading reporting tools. However none of these solutions provides this level of flexibility and ease of configuration inside SharePoint nor the advanced data visualization of Nevron.
• Image Filters - Nevron Gauge for SharePoint is the only gauge web part to provide Adobe Photoshop like image filter effects, which are applicable to all gauge elements - these include bevel, emboss, lighting filters etc. When it comes to shadows it is the only gauge for SharePoint, which has soft shadows (based on Gaussian and Radial blur image filters).

It allows you to mix fonts, mix bold, italic underline formatting and many other advanced features like different fill styles, shadows, image filters etc. - all inside a single label, title etc. XML formatted texts use a format similar to HTML, but with many more advanced options.
• Blazing Fast Gauge Designer - Nevron Gauge for SharePoint features an advanced designer, which is built with jQuery UI. The designer supports all major web browsers and does not require any plugins (like Silverlight or Flash).
