UI Widget configuration via msg.ui_control

The following configuration properties of ui widget nodes can be set by using a msg.ui_control property on a msg. Multiple properties of the node can be set at the same time. For example you can use a change node to set msg.ui_control to JSON { "min":10, "max":50 }

Note: It is still recommended that nodes are configured via the editor in order to preset the default values.

Notes:

1. See http://easings.net/ for examples of easings for chart animation.

2. The chart can take many of the angular-chartjs options for changing axes label, scales etc

3. The gauge options can accept any of the Justgage parameters for example:

    {"options":{"pointer":false,"gaugeWidthScale":1.5}}
    {"options":{"pointer":true,"gaugeWidthScale":0.4,"reverse":true}}
   

4. when a className is specified, it is added to the parent element. E.g for a button, the class is added to the md-card This permits overriding of styles in all sub elements e.g. md-card.my-button button { color: red }

Likewise the Wave type gauge can accept liquidfillgauge config options for example:

    {options:{circleColor:"#FF7777", textColor:"#FF4444", waveTextColor:"#FFAAAA", waveColor:"#FFDDDD", circleThickness:0.3, textVertPosition:0.2, waveHeight:0.05, waveCount:8}}
