setShape(pointerType [, lengthRatio [, widthRatio ]])

Sets the shape of the meter pointer to one of the built-in shapes.



The built-in symbols are specified by using the following predefined constants as the pointerType argument.

Constant	Value	Description
DiamondPointer	0	The blue pointers in the meters above.
TriangularPointer	1	The purple pointers in the meters above.
ArrowPointer	2	The red pointers in the meters above.
ArrowPointer2	3	The yellow pointers in the meters above.
LinePointer	4	The green pointers in the meters above.
PencilPointer	5	The grey pointers in the meters above.

The length and width of the pointer can be scaled by using the lengthRatio and widthRatio arguments. The meters above are using default length and width ratios, which are both 1 for angular meters, and 0.75 and 1 for linear meters.

Argument	Default	Description
pointerType	(Mandatory)	One of the predefined pointer shape constants to specify the pointer shape to use.
lengthRatio	NoValue	The length ratio applies to the pointer. NoValue means the lengthRatio is not modified. The default is 1.0 for angular meters and 0.75 for linear meters.
widthRatio	NoValue	The width ratio applies to the pointer. NoValue means the widthRatio is not modified. The default is 1.0.
