Request for option for image gauge needles

Request to allow images to be used as gauge needles to allow for creation of more complicated gauge needles. In particular ones that don't go back to the base. (See picture 1) Current solution is to use a complicated mask system to fake the needle shape. Think this would also allow for gauges to be made where the gauge rotates around the needle (IE compasses with machine orientation stationary). (see picture 2) Not needed for my application but, might be useful to someone.
