jQuery Knob

• canvas based ; no png or jpg sprites.
• touch, mouse and mousewheel, keyboard events implemented.
• downward compatible ; overloads an input element.

Example

<input type="text" value="75" class="dial">

<script>
    $(function() {
        $(".dial").knob();
    });
</script>

Options

Options are provided as attributes 'data-option':

<input type="text" class="dial" data-min="-50" data-max="50">

... or in the "knob()" call :

$(".dial").knob({
    'min':-50,
    'max':50
});

The following options are supported :

Behaviors : * min : min value | default=0. * max : max value | default=100. * step : step size | default=1. * angleOffset : starting angle in degrees | default=0. * angleArc : arc size in degrees | default=360. * stopper : stop at min & max on keydown/mousewheel | default=true. * readOnly : disable input and events | default=false. * rotation : direction of progression | default=clockwise.

UI : * cursor : display mode "cursor", cursor size could be changed passing a numeric value to the option, default width is used when passing boolean value "true" | default=gauge. * thickness : gauge thickness. * lineCap : gauge stroke endings. | default=butt, round=rounded line endings * width : dial width. * height : dial height. * displayInput : default=true | false=hide input. * displayPrevious : default=false | true=displays the previous value with transparency. * fgColor : foreground color. * inputColor : input value (number) color. * font : font family. * fontWeight : font weight. * bgColor : background color.

Hooks

<script>
    $(".dial").knob({
        'release' : function (v) { /make something/ }
    });
</script>

• 'release' : executed on release

  Parameters : + value : int, current value

• 'change' : executed at each change of the value

  Parameters : + value : int, current value

• 'draw' : when drawing the canvas

  Context : - this.g : canvas context 2D (see Canvas documentation) - this.$ : jQuery wrapped element - this.o : options - this.i : input - ... console.log(this);

• 'cancel' : triggered on [esc] keydown
• 'format' : allows to format output (add unit %, ms ...)

The scope (this) of each hook function is the current Knob instance (refer to the demo code).

Example

<input type="text" value="75" class="dial">

<script>
    $(".dial").knob({
        'change' : function (v) { console.log(v); }
    });
</script>
