Documentation on gauge dial `path`

[danielbartsch]

Expected behaviour

There should be documentation about the path property in the dial property of gauge series.
I have seen in the code that the property can be used, and it can be used. But it is unclear to me how to actually use it.
It seems to be hard to make responsive paths like the default one with just the path property.
As you can see in the live demo below (if the chart gets bigger or smaller, the custom dial stays the same size, as there are no variables to incorporate into the path)

Actual behaviour

• no documentation
• no example usage

Hi @danielbartsch,
Thank you for the suggestion. I agree that it can be as part of our API.

FYI @bre1470 is it possible in TS too?

[bre1470]

There is no indication that this is something that should be official. It does not refresh and goes directly as a SVG attribute into the point. The dial type in TypeScript though is wrong and has to be fixed independently.

@TorsteinHonsi Your opinion about making series.gauge.dial.path an option?

[danielbartsch]

imo, it makes sense to be able to customize the dial. Think of maybe showing a threshold with for example a dashed line.

[bre1470]

Yes, I agree that something like this could be useful. The path property though is not a forgotten option, but instead an internal property on the options instance. There has to be something implemented for the idea to work.

Hello @kaguya3222! We haven't scheduled work for this feature since there wasn't much interest in this feature. We will move this ticket higher in the backlog though.
