This tutorial will guide you through the process of creating an odometer. Trust me, it will be incredibly simple.

Go to app.datapicta.com to open the DataPicta application.

1. Add data

It starts by adding data. Click here.

2. Type the Data

Since an odometer only displays one value we will type the data manually. Instead of opening a file.

3. Input field names

Type 'speed', followed by a comma and then type 'unit'. Press enter to go from defining the field names to the actual data.

4. Input Data Values

Enter "90", comma, "km/h" to populate your dataset. You have just entered a dataset that conforms to the comma-separated value syntax, meaning the columns are separated by commas.

5. Add Data

Click "Add data" to include your data in the project.

6. Open the Picta Dialog

Click here to open the picta dialog.

7. Select Gauge

Select the Gauge Picta.

8. View result

The gauge is loaded; however, to convert it into an odometer, we need to adjust the range.

9. Select Number of Splits

Enter 0 for the minimal value and 240 for the maximum value.

10. Enter Split Count

240 can be divided by 12, so let's choose 12 as the split number; this is the option most car manufacturers prefer.

11. Open Chart Type Menu

We now have a scale of 240 units, divided into steps of 20.

12. Choose Chart Style

As a finishing touch we will add a progress indicator to the odometer. Enable progress and then click show.

13. Done

A line is added to the odometer to indicate the vehicle's speed.
