Is there a way that if I have a lot of needles (pointers) different colours, that their _names_ can be shown?

So I know what the `red`, `green` and `blue` (etc) needles are representing?

As suggested in your last post, if you are talking about the classic gauge node then please make that clear in the title and in the text mention the node by name. You can edit the title by clicking the pen next to it.

Sorry. Got hung up on declaring the dashboard and not the node name.

Ok.

Again, drats. I'll have to think about how to get _around_ that.
