4.6.3.1.1 Format
The size and direction of the bar graph is set here. Length determines the bar length and Width determines the
bar width depending on which direction the bar graph extends. In this way, the bar can be rotated without having
to reset the proportions.
4.6.3.1.2 Position
The direction of the bar graph is set
with Direction. In the picture shown
here, all four possible directions are
shown as they are displayed in the
editor. The bar graph is half full,
representing a setting of 50%. The
black area is the filled, active part
of the bar while the white, empty
section within the borders is the
background and can be set to any
available color.
Exact bar location can be set by entering the position in the X and Y fields. When the 'Object Properties' dialog
box is opened, the current coordinates of the output field are indicated.
The bar graph can be more simply and conveniently positioned with the mouse by clicking and dragging it. The
exact position can be adapted to a grid (see also The Picture Editor).
