Application Scenario
A test tube gauge is also known as a linear or bar gauge which is used to display the process or completion level of an indicator. The gauge is called the test tube gauge because it is typically displayed in a straight or bar shape, resembling a test tube or a column. The gauge can be displayed horizontally or vertically and can be extended as needed to accommodate various design and data presentation requirements.
The gauge styles can be divided into the horizontal style and the vertical style.
For example, a test tube gauge can be used to display the stock levels of a product.

Chart Feature
1. Advantage
Intuitiveness: The test tube gauge visually displays data progress through the filled length, allowing you to quickly grasp the current status.
Simplicity: The design is simple and free of unnecessary elements, making key information highlighted.
2. Disadvantage
Limited information: The gauge can display only single progress information and is not suitable for displaying complex datasets or multidimensional data.
Lack of detail: The gauge typically does not provide specific details about how data changes over time.
