attribute. It refers to the width based on which you had defined the various co-ordinates/radius of the
gauge. For example, if you had designed an angular gauge with 300 px width and in that you had set the gauge
radius to be 100, then you can use the dynamic resizing feature and specify origW='300'
. It
will automatically check the current width and scale the radius etc. appropriately. Please note that both
the original width and height of the chart need to be set. To know more on how this attribute works, please
read the Dynamic Resizing page.

gauge radius to be 100, then you can use the dynamic resizing feature and specify origH='300'
.
It will automatically check the current height and scale the radius etc. appropriately. Please note that
both the original width and height of the chart need to be set. To know more on how this attribute works,
