New Capabilities for the Status Meter Component in ADF

While building a demo of new Oracle ADF features for my OOW session, I came across some nice new functionality in the dvt status meter gauge component (dvt:statusMeterGauge), specifically the round one which has become quite popular in various Oracle Alta UIs.

Turns out you can turn the dial and cut it so it shows just parts of a circle.

By adding thresholds you can use it as a replacement for the dial gauge.

Here is how it can look: 

Here is the code used:

                            <dvt:statusMeterGauge orientation="circular" inlineStyle="width:150px; height:100px;"

                                                  id="statusMeterGauge1" maximum="25000"

                                                  value="#{bindings.Salary.inputValue}" minimum="0" startAngle="180" angleExtent="180"

                                                  title="Salary">

                                <dvt:gaugeMetricLabel rendered="true" id="gml1"/>

                                <dvt:gaugeThreshold id="gt1" maximum="4000" color="red"/>

                                <dvt:gaugeThreshold id="gt2" maximum="6000" color="yellow"/>

                                <dvt:gaugeThreshold id="gt3" maximum="20000" color="green"/>

                            </dvt:statusMeterGauge>
