# Gauge

Gauge is a single-value visualization that can repeat a gauge for every series, column or row.

## Value options

Use the following options to refine how your visualization displays the value:

### Show

Choose how Grafana displays your data.

#### Calculate

Show a calculated value based on all rows.

- **Calculation -** Select a reducer function that Grafana will use to reduce many fields to a single value. For a list of available calculations, refer to [Calculation types]({{< relref "../../calculation-types/" >}}).
- **Fields -** Select the fields display in the panel.

#### All values

Show a separate stat for every row. If you select this option, then you can also limit the number of rows to display.

- **Limit -** The maximum number of rows to display. Default is 5,000.
- **Fields -** Select the fields display in the panel.

## Gauge

Adjust how the gauge is displayed.

### Orientation

Choose a stacking direction.

- **Auto -** Gauges display in rows and columns.
- **Horizontal -** Gauges display top to bottom.
- **Vertical -** Gauges display left to right.

### Show threshold labels

Controls if threshold values are shown.

### Show threshold markers

Controls if a threshold band is shown outside the inner gauge value band.

### Min width

Set the minimum width of vertically-oriented gauges.

If you set a minimum width, the x-axis scrollbar is automatically displayed when there's a large amount of data.

### Min height

Set the minimum height of horizontally-oriented gauges.

If you set a minimum height, the y-axis scrollbar is automatically displayed when there's a large amount of data.

### Neutral

Set the starting value from which every gauge will be filled.

## Text size

Adjust the sizes of the gauge text.

- **Title -** Enter a numeric value for the gauge title size.
- **Value -** Enter a numeric value for the gauge value size.
