"refValue"

Defines the reference value for the bars.

Synopsis

setValue(string shape, "refValue", float value);

getValue(string shape, "refValue", float &value);

shape.refValue(float value);

Parameters


Parameter	Description
shape	Name of the object
value	Reference value

Description

This attribute can be used to specify the reference value for the bars. The reference value defines the Y value from which the bars will be drawn, the root of the bars so to speak. The tolerance limits set with "tolHigh"; and "tolLow"; are based on this value (as a percentage).

Example

see "refOrigin"

Figure 1. The Reference Values was set to 8
