A polished, sensor-ready compass that renders a 0–360° dial with cardinal letters, major/minor tick marks, and a smooth animated needle. The widget is fully themeable (ring, accent, needle, text, ticks, background, gloss) and supports interaction for demos (drag to rotate) or real-time binding to a heading stream. Clear degree labeling and optional North badge make orientation instantly readable across light/dark UIs.

Functionality

• Heading input (0–360°) with animated needle (animate, animationMs) and optional drag to simulate (enableDrag).

• Toggleable layers: cardinals, degree label, major/minor ticks, North badge, gloss overlay.

• Full theming: backgroundColor, ringColor, accentColor, needleColor, needleBaseColor, majorTickColor, minorTickColor, textColor, northColor.

• Layout control via explicit Width/Height; renders crisp on high-DPI displays.

• Performance tuned (GPU-friendly) for butter-smooth 60fps animations.

• Works with device sensors (magnetometer/gyroscope) or any custom bearing source.

Use cases

• Navigation and outdoor apps (hiking, biking, off-road).

• Boating/sailing and heading indicators for drones/RC/robotics.

• AR/map orientation overlays and calibration screens.

• Education/demos explaining azimuth, bearings, and cardinal directions.

• Dashboards and instrument panels needing a compact, legible compass.
