The free graph, dial and meter widgets are provided as a part of the Community Edition of the GLG Toolkit, which contains the following widget sets:

• Real-Time Charts
• 2D and 3D Graphs
• Dials and Meters
• Avionics Gauges
• Custom Buttons, Toggles and Switches
• Sliders, Knobs and Spinners
• Process Control and other widgets

All widgets may be used as individual components or embedded in a bigger GLG drawing, such as a dashboard or HMI screen.

The widgets can be deployed as C/C++/C#, Java, ActiveX or JavaScript / React / Angular / Next.js components in a variety of run-time environments.

Any GLG Widget is simply a drawing that may be loaded into any GLG application using one of the provided GLG Libraries (Java, C/C++, C#, JavaScript, etc.) and animated with real-time data.

The GLG Graphics Builder is a graphical editor for editing widgets as well as creating new widgets. Any widget drawing may be loaded into the GLG Graphics Builder to customize the widget by editing its resources. A modified widget drawing may be saved into a file to create a custom version of the widget.

The Graphics Builder's Run mode may be used to prototype a widget's run-time behavior by animating it with either simulated or real data. The run command provides numerous data prototyping options.

New custom widgets may be created from scratch using the Builder and added to the Builder's palettes. The Graphics Builder may also be used to create elaborate dashboards which combine several graph, meter and dial widgets in one drawing.

The Graphics Builder may be used as a tool to generate chart print-outs for various projects.

To create a graph printout, load a desired chart or graph from the Builder's graph palette, edit its colors, titles and other resources, then use the Builder's Run command to fill the graph with your data. The -script and -datafile options of the run command may be used to take graph data from a file.
