For some time I’ve been using the Google plugin gauge to visualise water consumption in a summerhouse area, on a public website. As there is a shortage of water, this has helped to keep the usage down. After a small modification of the gauge it suddenly stopped working and I realised that public view was not longer supported. As a replacement I tried to use the newly developed widget gauge. Unfortunately this is much wider than the plugin with a large amount of empty space around it. Because of this it did not fit in the widget area of my WordPress homepage, where the plugin had just the right size. If I may wish something for the future it would be to delete the unused area around the gauge to make it fit in a narrower space.

Hi
I am trying to embed the Google Gauge widget in a WordPress widget using iframe. For some reason the gauge seems to be too wide for the WordPress widget area, resulting in that only the left half of the gauge is visible. Changing width and height parameters do not help. Is there some way to generate a gauge widget with “less space” around the actual gauge?
Thanks
Mats

Thanks for the new guages, im having fun with them. Re future ones, i monitor water tanks and diesel tanks so a Tank (ie fat vertical bar graph) would be great. Adding colours to the tank somehow like the guages would be handy as visual warning for low or high water would be superb.
Another need i have is to have compact dashboard ie a lot of info in a small space (for low res tv screens) so plain old bar graphs i think are best for this i think. Colours for warnings would be good also.
Well, that’s my ten cents worth. thanks for listening 🙂
Kind regards, Phil.
