Pointer Animation

The enableAnimation property of pointer allows you to enable or disable animation for pointers. The gauge pointer supports the following animation types:

bounceOut
ease
easeInCir
easeOutBack
elasticOut
linear
slowMiddle

The animation type can be changed using the animationType property of pointer. By default, the animation type is linear.
