Last Updated : 21 Oct, 2021

jQWidgets is a JavaScript framework for making web-based applications for PC and mobile devices. It is a very powerful, optimized, platform-independent, and widely supported framework. The jqxGauge represents a jQuery gauge widget, it is an indicator within a range of values. We can use Gauges to show a value in a range of values in the data region, there are 2 types of gauges: RadialGauge and LinearGauge. The LinearGauge is a gauge widget that can be represented either horizontally or vertically & its value is represented linearly in a vertical manner from some values.

The scaleLength property is used to set or return the scaleLength property. i.e. this property is used to set the length of the scale of the LinearGauge. It accepts number/string type value and the default value is ‘90%’. This property can be set in percentage or in pixels.

Syntax:

It is used to set the scaleLength property.

$('Selector').jqxLinearGauge({ scaleLength: string/number });

It is used to return the scaleLength property.

var scaleLength= $('Selector').jqxLinearGauge('scaleLength');
