I believe you will need to use sin and cos to do this...
I experimented with drawing circles in javascript (sorry, it's not PHP but
you can see the concept) and ended up with this:
for (j = 0; j <= 360; j += (360 / 10))
{
// x1 & y1 are offset values
var s = x1 + radius * Math.cos (j);
var t = y1 + radius * Math.sin (j);
setLayer (layer_count, s, t);
layer_count++;
}
You would be able to work out the angle by making it a percentage of 180
degrees - although for horizontal gauges, you would need to offset it
by -90.
Hope this helps...
