How to create tanks like this page?
-
On the documentation for Mango there is a display with some tanks.
How do you create something like this with the dashboards? Is this just some JS that we can use for this? I am not keen on the 3D ones that are shown for the dashboard demos.

They basically work in the same way as the custom vertical bar under the "Bar display" section. You will probably just want to play with the border radius CSS property.

Thanks Jared, this is one of the issues with a lot of the stuff in Mango that there is very little in the way of good documentation. You have something that works great and at the price is superb but the lack of documentation on a lot of the code makes development quite a long process and means posting questions all the time.
I looked at the amcharts,com website but the format to create the charts is not the same as doing this in Mango.
A proper documentation page with all of the parameters listed would go a long way to making things easier. Your mention of the radius for example is not found anywhere in the demo.

Hi Dave, I understand your need for the list of directives. It is definitely something that is on our agenda. In the meantime the examples are a pretty comprehensive resource if you read through them.
There is no need to use AmCharts for what I was suggesting, I was suggesting to use something like the vertical bar from the "bar display" example. The example just couples plain HTML elements with CSS styling. Take a look at the style sheet which is linked to from the example to see where the border radius is used. I was thinking you could set the border radius to a larger value to give it more of a tank like appearance (make it wider too).
CSS is a web standard used for styling elements on web pages - see here https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS
Or more specifically for the border radius property - https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/border-radiusWe do intend on making it easier for laymen to create and manipulate dashboards, unfortunately at the moment if you need to create customized components you will require some web development knowledge.
