Gauge charts

Gauges are another meter variant that may be more suited to your websites design.

[No canvas support]

Control panels

If you're aiming to make a control panel of sorts and are trying to fit many Gauge charts or other meters on the page here's an idea of one method that could be used. It uses CSS to stipulate that the canvas tags are initially smaller than their HTML width/height attributes and then when clicked it gradually increases the CSS width/height to match the HTML width/height attributes - essentially zooming in on the Gauge.
