JS Gauge with growing arc

Question

Does anyone know of a JavaScript charting library that is capable of drawing a a gauge like this:

I've already looked at Highcharts, Kendo UI and FusionCharts, but I couldn't find any samples with a non-constant width of the arc...but that could also be because I don't even know what to search for exactly.

I found this post which seems to go in the right direction, but I'd rather not have to draw SVG myself if there's an out of the box solution.

In case anyone else ever needs something like that, I ended up building it myself using D3. Full animated sample is available at http://jsfiddle.net/0288wscf/11/

var domain = [1, 100];

var angleScale = d3.scale.linear().domain(domain).range([minAngle, maxAngle]);
var radiusScale = d3.scale.linear().domain(domain).range([radius - minWidth, radius - maxWidth]);
var colorScale = d3.scale.linear().domain(domain).range([minColor, maxColor]);

var svg = d3.select("body").append("svg")
    .attr("width", 2 * radius)
    .attr("height", 2 * radius);

var gauge = svg.append("g")
    .attr("transform", "translate(" + radius + "," + radius + ")")

var arc = d3.svg.arc()
    .innerRadius(radiusScale)
    .outerRadius(radius)
    .startAngle(angleScale)
    .endAngle(angleScale);

function update(n) {    
    var ticks = gauge.selectAll(".tick").data(d3.range(1, n), function(d) { return d; });

    ticks.enter()
         .append("path")
         .attr("class", "tick")
         .attr("stroke", colorScale)            
         .attr("d", arc)
         .attr("stroke-width", tickThickness)
         .attr("opacity", 0)
         .transition()
         .delay(enterDuration)
         .attr("opacity", 1);

    ticks.exit()
         .transition()
         .delay(exitDuration)
         .remove();
}
