A bar graph shows the value of a monitored variable by displaying a bar with
variable length. When the value of the variable increases or decreases, the
length of the bar increases or decreases accordingly. A bar graph can have a
scale and the scale enables you to measure the length of the bar and read the
current value of the monitored variable.
There are two bar types that a bar graph can have: a polar bar and a bipolar
bar. The polar bar can only move at one end, but the bipolar bar can move both
ends. The bar and the scale can be displayed in any of the following four
directions:
A bar graph can also have a scale, forward markers, backward markers and a
percentage display.

Note:
* If the bar graph is upward or downward, the scale and forward/backward markers
will be located on the left or right sides.
* If the bar graph is leftward or rightward, the scale and forward/backward
markers will be located at the top or bottom.
You can complete all the settings of a bar graph in the Bar Graph property
sheet. This sheet contains the following six pages.
