    <p>
        These are Meter charts. Similar to half the Odometer. The difference is purely visual, but may well be more suited to
        a control panel type application.
    </p>
    
    <p>
        The example file is <a href="../examples/meter.html">here</a>.
    </p>
    
    <pre class="code">
&lt;script&gt;
    window.onload = function ()
    {
        var meter = new RGraph.Meter('myCanvas', 50, 100, 60);

    <h2>Properties</h2>
    
    <p>
        You can use these properties to control how the Meter apears. You can set them by using the Set() method. Eg:
    </p>
    
    <p>
        <b>myMeter.Set('name', 'value');</b>
    </p>
