Gauges API
Terms
- Item : item can be a SVG group or a SVG item that have a particular name. This name is based on its type (Pointer), the index (you can have several pointer in your gauges, it starts at 1) and its item name. For example: pointer1_main is the main item of the pointer number 1
- Fields are described in Python syntax and located in the description part of the SVG item (see object properties to show it)

- Each SVG file represents 1 gauges
- One gauge is composed by different items, it can have 2 pointer, and 1 list
- Each items has a particular behaviour (light, counter, pointer) with common fields and specific fields
- Only named items (and their childrens) can be displayed

- to put something under the background, use the under_background=True field on items --> very specific use!!!
