# Gauge widgets

*Use the embedded gauge widget to visualize progress towards a maximum value.*

There are many ways to view the live status of a variable in Tulip. One way is to use the Gauge visualization. This is a "progress bar" that shows the progress towards a preset maximum value.

## Add a gauge widget

From the Tool Bar, click **Embed** and then select **Gauge**.
