Type of bar chart

  1. The bar chart moves from bottom to top.

  2. The bar chart moves from top to bottom.

  3. The bar chart moves from left to right.

  4. The bar chart moves from right to left.

  5. The bar chart moves symmetrically in relation to a horizontal axis corresponding to the average of the thresholds.

  6. The bar chart moves symmetrically in relation to a vertical axis corresponding to the average of the thresholds.

  7. The bar charts grow vertically, by symmetrically filling the gap between the value of the variable and the average of the thresholds.

  8. The bar charts grow horizontally, by symmetrically filling the gap between the value of the variable and the average of the thresholds.

Thresholds

Values indicating the range of status displayed. When the associated variable value is equal to the minimum threshold value, the bar chart is empty. When this value is equal to the maximum limit value, the bar chart is full (the rectangle’s color).

By default these values are set to 0 (minimum) and 1000 (maximum).

Default values

Values that indicate the thresholds from which the bar chart is displayed with the default color.

The bar chart uses the default color when the associated variable value is:

  • higher than or equal to the maximum value

  • lower than or equal to the minimum value

The colors palette contains 16 predefined colors and provides access to the extended colors parameter screen.
