Very cool. I learned a lot from this.

Thanks once again, David.

Excellent tip! Thank you, David. In experimenting with these options, there are three other things that I have not been able to do.

  1. Display the maximum value of the scale as the last tick when the maximum value is not divisible by 10. I have a scale that runs from 0 to 156. No matter how I set ScaleDivisions, I cannot get 156 to appear as the last tick. The best I can do is 150.

  2. I cannot get the selected value to display above the marker, that is, move along with the marker. I tried

    GaugeLabels -> Placed["Value", Dynamic[x]]

but that is incorrect.

  1. Prevent values less than 12 from being selected. I want to stop the marker from being moved below 12, and 0 to 12 always being highlighted.

Any thoughts?

When in doubt always check the Options:

In[9]:= Options[HorizontalGauge]

Out[9]= {AlignmentPoint -> Center, AspectRatio -> Automatic, 
 Axes -> False, AxesLabel -> None, AxesOrigin -> Automatic, 
 AxesStyle -> {}, Background -> None, BaselinePosition -> Automatic, 
 BaseStyle -> {}, ColorOutput -> Automatic, 
 ContentSelectable -> Automatic, CoordinatesToolOptions -> Automatic, 
 DisplayFunction :> $DisplayFunction, Epilog -> {}, 
 FormatType :> TraditionalForm, Frame -> False, FrameLabel -> None, 
 FrameStyle -> {}, FrameTicks -> Automatic, FrameTicksStyle -> {}, 
 GaugeFaceElementFunction -> Automatic, GaugeFaceStyle -> Automatic, 
 GaugeFrameElementFunction -> Automatic, GaugeFrameSize -> Automatic, 
 GaugeFrameStyle -> Automatic, GaugeLabels -> None, 
 GaugeMarkers -> Automatic, GaugeStyle -> Automatic, 
 GridLines -> None, GridLinesStyle -> {}, ImageMargins -> 0., 
 ImagePadding -> All, ImageSize -> Small, ImageSizeRaw -> Automatic, 
 LabelStyle -> {}, Method -> Automatic, 
 PerformanceGoal :> $PerformanceGoal, PlotLabel -> None, 
 PlotLegends -> None, PlotRange -> All, PlotRangeClipping -> False, 
 PlotRangePadding -> Automatic, PlotRegion -> Automatic, 
 PreserveImageOptions -> Automatic, Prolog -> {}, RotateLabel -> True,
  ScaleDivisions -> Automatic, ScaleOrigin -> Automatic, 
 ScalePadding -> Automatic, ScaleRanges -> Automatic, 
 ScaleRangeStyle -> Automatic, ScalingFunctions -> None, 
 TargetUnits -> Automatic, Ticks -> Automatic, TicksStyle -> {}}

So here is a possibility:

HorizontalGauge[55, {0, 100}, ImageSize -> 400, BaseStyle -> 14]
