9.5.24 Rudder Angle / Order
The rudder angle component appears like a mechanical rudder angle gauge.
There is a red needle in the center of the component and a semicircular scale
appearing at the bottom component. The needle is oriented such that it points
the same direction as the rudder if you were standing above it looking down while
facing the bow of the vessel.
A grey triangle under the needle shows the order given to the rudder by an
autopilot.
The range of values displayed by the gauge is user-defined. The gauge has
major tick marks. You can define the number and spacing of these tick marks
within the component editor. An example of a rudder angle component is shown
below.

Min Max Markers may be added to a Rudder Angle Component by clicking on a
check box in the Component Editor. The markers show the limits of the needle
movement in either direction. These marks are associated with the control itself.
That means that if two controls are displaying the same data, each will maintain
its own values for the min max marks, and they can be reset independently.
