Kendo UI gauge animation

Question

I would like to animate my kendoUI gauges in realtime, whenever the data changes. I currently can do this by setting the values of the gauge pointer directly and refresh, but when i do that it will jump straight to the new value and not animate gracefully to it. How do I add the animation, like the Gauge control does when it first starts?

You don't need to refresh it, just set the new value using value and it gets updated and animated.

Example: Defined an HTML input that I decorate with a Kendo Numeric Text Box. Each time I update the value both a radial and linear gauge get updated.

HTML code:

<div>
    <input id="gauge-value" value="65">
</div>
<div id="gauge-container">
    <div id="gaugeR"></div>
    <div id="gaugeL"></div>
</div>

JavaScript (Gauges initialization):

var gaugeR = $("#gaugeR").kendoRadialGauge({
    pointer: {
        value: value.value()
    },
    scale  : {
        minorUnit : 5,
        startAngle: -30,
        endAngle  : 210,
        max       : 180
    }
}).data("kendoRadialGauge");

var gaugeL = $("#gaugeL").kendoLinearGauge({
    pointer: {
        value: value.value(),
        shape: "arrow"
    },
    scale  : {
        majorUnit: 20,
        minorUnit: 5,
        max      : 180
    }
}).data("kendoLinearGauge");

and NumericTextBox with change event handler that updates the gauges:

var value = $("#gauge-value").kendoNumericTextBox({
    min   : 0,
    max   : 180,
    change: function () {
        var v = $("#gauge-value").val();
        gaugeR.value(v);
        gaugeL.value(v);
    }
}).data("kendoNumericTextBox");
