Gauge Shape
The Gauge shape displays an elegant circular dial whose needle follows a term value.

Overview
A Gauge shape maps a bound term between its minimum and maximum values across a circular dial. The needle can be dragged to update the term, while automatic scaling and colored ranges make the current value easy to interpret.
The needle is only draggable when the value it shows can be set: a gauge with no bound term, or one bound to a term the model lets you change. A needle bound to a computed term, to the independent variable, or to a locked term is read-only, and dragging over it moves the shape instead.
