Graphical Panel Controls: Bargraph

Bargraph controls display data using a using a simple horizontal or vertical indicator. The value of the associated signal is shown at the top of the control, while the bar graphically depicts the value by coloring in a portion of the bar between the set minimum and maximum values. A bargraph control can also be used as a slider control, which allows input by clicking and dragging the slider to a desired value. Examples of this type of control can be seen in Figure 1.
