Radial Bars

A Radial Bar displays a numeric value as a filled arc. Its color reflects the current status, making it easy for operators to assess state at a glance. Unlike the Gauge, which provides visual feedback on critical sections of the range, the Radial Bar focuses on communicating the current status of a single value.
