gauge redraw speed

[Nik]

Dear group,

I'm using a Gauge visualization to show speed of a moving object,
which is being animated on a 2D/3D map (Maps & Google Earth). I'm
noticing considerable jitter in the animation when I update the gauge
data and invoke the draw method... I get the feeling that this is due
to the little animation loop that the gauge goes through on each
update to make the redraw "smooth". Is there a way to set the delay of
this redraw smoothing to 0, so the needle jumps from one value to the
next instantaneously?

thanks,
kind regards,
Nik.
