How to eliminate the outline of a meter chart? [message #1001468]

I would like to remove the outline on my meter chart (see image).

I can't find any setting in the GUI to do this. The only way that I have found so far is to make the chart background black so that it doesn't show, but this isn't really acceptable as I don't want a black background.

This is what I'd like it to look like

Is this just missing in the GUI? Is there an API I can use in a script to achieve this?

Hi Mike! You can hide it using a script like this in the beforeDrawDataSeries

function beforeDrawSeries( series, isr, icsc )
{
importPackage(Packages.org.eclipse.birt.chart.model.type.impl);
if( series.getClass() == DialSeriesImpl){
series.getDial().getLineAttributes().setVisible(false);
}
}

One more thing if I could?

Is there a way to get a meter chart to display the value at the tip of the needle?
