hi all, I am trying to alter the intervals displayed in the thermometer. I just need 4 intervals between my high bound and low bound. How can I achieve this?? ![temp_grp](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/b/d/bdef3277799fce1a1f29bfbb5e68e3aa8df42f6c.png) ---

You're looking at the properties of the **view**. You should be looking at the properties of the **component**.

So sorry about that. I have uploaded the thermometer properties along with this message. Actually I have already gone through this material you have posted above earlier but I couldn't find anything useful for me. The problem I am facing is that, I am not able to change the the divisions on the thermometer they seem alter themselves as I change the highbound and lowbound. Can u help with that? ![temp_grp](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/6/9/691a1ef8d0f25388bad19060fa5a8ce3f10c5023.png) ---

You are correct. There doesn't seem to be a way to set the interval. It's automatically generated by the component. This will probably be fixed in a future upgrade. You could possibly overlay a _Linear Scale_ component to do what you want. * * * Here's how to post an image showing your setup: ![Well cropped image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/8/a/8a71e1989575d4ad54381f04f8cc1f0c619b3333.png) Note that I've pulled the divider over to the component and then taken a screengrab of the area of interest - not the whole screen. The image is not distorted and is very legible as it is in full scale. ---

Yes, I have to put a startup script in the thermometer component to get it to be empty and just use the mercuryColor setting ``` self.props.intervals = [] ``` otherwise it always seems to come back to some preset numbers. That's pretty irritating and strange. 8.1.37
