Sections help you highlight a range on the scale and the gauge background. They also allow you to change the appearance of scale decorations such as ticks, labels and gridlines, if they fall in the range highlighted by the section. You can add an arbitrary number of sections to the axis by pressing the "Add" button, below the sections list box. The following settings are available per axis section:
Show - controls the visibility of the section.
Begin - controls the begin value of the section. You can enter a numeric/date time value, which will be parsed according to the current culture settings.
End - controls the end value of the section. You can enter a numeric/date time value, which will be parsed according to the current culture settings.

You must specify both begin and end value in order for the section to be valid, otherwise it is ignored. |
