Just doing a little Java revision and I came across the following statement:
Quote: For example, imagine a futuristic society where computer-controlled robotic cars transport passengers through city streets without a human operator.

Transportation?
I can't make it all fit though.
Planes, Trains, and Automobiles = definition
Trains without me = Trans?
Brew = Potion?
It goes without saying

Right word, not quite the solution I had in mind. But .. you are up tomorrow!

Where is the indicator for splitting "portion" around A and T?

Very debatable. But, we've had worse, so...

I'm looking for a way to graphically represent an optimum range of values, along with the actual value of a variable. One idea I've seen is a simple bar with a gradient from red to orange, green, back to orange and then to red, with the optimal range being the green zone, and a simple triangle marker pointing to the value of the variable along the range.
I just have no idea what that bar gradient range shower thingy is called, and nor where I'd find one.
Anyone know of such a beast?
Update: Linear Gauge Charts! How did that name escape me? Thank you Wendelius.
cheers

A slider with a background? Your background idea seems good! 
Can't be too hard to implement, even as a web control...
This control concept is a nice one!

Sounds like a job for CSS gradients. I've used them in simple cases, but I've also seen some very elaborate examples.
Cheers,

I have such a control, but it will not help you very much. It's actually a +/- control to lower or raise some settings, but the + and - buttons can be hidden away. Colors and other stuff can be set in XAML. The real problem is that it is a control for my own UI which runs in a 3D engine. So, unless you are writing a game...

I have such UI on my blood test page... You may have too...

Asked around and they use a product called SCALA - it is payed (and big) so probably not what you need...

Yeah - that's pretty close to what I was thinking. I'll follow that lead for some ideas.

Yeah. Linear Gauge Chart.

Show the value as a bar (where the bar length represent the value) and color the bar directly (e.g. red: out, yellow: nearly out, green ok. this of course can be made more smooth). So simply looking to the bar's color tells you ok/nok ...

Yeah, I know how to do it, I'm just looking for some really slick examples of it. Except my google-fu is just not coming up with any decent examples, so I'm hoping there's an actual name for something like this that will help lead me to the motherlode of ideas.
