I would guess that the problem is related to Manipulate's attribute HoldAll and that numeric constants like Pi are symbols; however, N can be used rather than specifying 6.28 {Attributes[Manipulate], Head[Pi]} {{HoldAll, Protected, ReadProtected}, Symbol} Manipulate[ Plot[Sin[a x], {x, 0, 4 Pi}, PlotRange -> {-1.05, 1.05}, AxesLabel -> {Style["x", 16, Italic], None}], {{a, 1, Style["a", 16, Italic, FontFamily -> "Times"]}, 0, 2 Pi // N, VerticalGauge[##, ImageSize -> 60] &}, ControlPlacement -> Left, FrameLabel -> Style["sin(a x)", 18, Italic, FontFamily -> "Times"]] Bob Hanlon On Fri, Jun 14, 2013 at 4:58 AM, Alexei Boulbitch <Alexei.Boulbitch at iee.lu>wrote: > Dear community, > > This works: > > Manipulate[ > Plot[Sin[a x], {x, 0, 4 Pi}], {{a, 1}, 0, 6.28, > VerticalGauge[##, ImageSize -> 50] &}, ControlPlacement -> Left] > > This > > Manipulate[ > Plot[Sin[a x], {x, 0, 4 Pi}], {{a, 1}, 0, 2 \[Pi], > VerticalGauge[##, ImageSize -> 50] &}, ControlPlacement -> Left] > > however, does not work.
