For certain application I wanted to show linear scale with a nice visual to show CV and SP in the same scale. Since the control is so nice, there is essentially 1 Deg temp difference. I was wondering if it is possible to show CV text on the left side and SP text on the right side of the scale to easy readability ?

_Figure 1._

- Duplicate the linear scale and position it to the right of the original.
- Delete the unwanted `indicators` object from the first scale.
- Delete the (other) unwanted `indicators` object from the second scale.
- On the second scale,
  - Set `mirror : true`.
  - Set `majorTicks.color` opacity to 0. Do the same for `minorTicks.color` and `fineTicks.color`.

I think that's it. The only problem I didn't resolve is the excessive gap between the green arrow and 'SP'.

You could fix that by hiding the built-in labels and adding your own at the top or bottom with the advantage of a narrower gauge.

@Transistor Thank you for the work around, I wish this was a standard object in Ignition, so many industrial gadgets show SP and PV on the same gauge. Until then this will get the job done 🙏
