Use the Appearance tab to define the appearance of the dial gauges.
Angular Width – the total width, in degrees, that the dial gauge uses to render color ranges.
Starting Angle – specifies how far the left end of the dial gauge is from zero degrees.
By default, the starting angle is blank. If you keep the default, the dial gauge movie automatically calculates and adjusts itself so that the angle width is symmetric across the vertical axis. Specifically, entering a 270 degree angle width and a 225 degree starting angle is the same as entering a 270 degree angle width and leaving the starting angle blank.
Outer Radius – the distance from the center of the dial gauge to the outer edge of the gauge’s color ranges.
Inner Radius – the distance from the center of the dial gauge to the inner edge of the gauge’s color ranges.

Pivot Radius – the radius of the small pivot point drawn at the center of the dial gauge. If you do not want to set a pivot point, set this value to zero.
Pivot Color – the color of the pivot point at the center of the dial gauge. Enter a hexadecimal color value in the text box, or click the sample color square and select one of the 216 Web-safe colors to use.
Outside Margin – the width, in pixels, around the edges of the scroll pane that contains all of the dial gauges.
Column Margin – the horizontal width, in pixels, between the dial gauges.
