How to customize the bar pointer in the .NET MAUI Linear Gauge (SfLinearGauge)?

The Syncfusion® .NET MAUI Linear Gauge (SfLinearGauge) allows you to customize the Bar Pointer. The following demonstration helps you understand how to customize the Bar Pointer using its properties.

A bar pointer is a highlighting line or shaded backdrop that can denote any current value in the scale track on a Linear Gauge. The bar pointers always begin at the minimum value of the scale and end at the specified value. As a result, the Value property is necessary when establishing a bar pointer.

Customization of a Bar Pointer can be handled with the help of the following mentioned properties.

• PointerSize - The thickness of the Bar Pointer can be changed.
• Position - Allows changing the position of the Bar Pointer. The bar pointer can be placed Inside, Cross, or Outside the scale.
• Offset - Helps to customize the distance of the Bar Pointer from the scale and it does not affect cross-positioned elements.
• Fill - The color of the Bar Pointer can be changed using this property.
• CornerStyle - Helps to change the edge style of the bar pointer. The StartCurve, EndCurve, BothCurve, and BothFlat options are available to set the edge style.
