there must be a trick way to put a scale object (like the one next to the trend) next to a bar?
I have a few bar graphics next to tanks. I want to put a small scale with tick marks next to that.

The trick way would be: use a trend which is as narrow as one value scale. Disable showing the time scale, the legend and the commands.
Then use areaInteractionFlags to disable all user interaction for the scale so you're in charge of what it displays.
All you are left with is the value scale.

OK, that is a trick way. (i don't have the hours it would take to figure out how to do it).
Kinda ugly.
Maybe we need a new type of scale object for various visual things. The push for "High Performance HMI" visualizations is prompting a lot of new approaches to graphics.

Why do you think it takes hours ?
Took me < 2 minutes to create that in gedi ...
Still, it might be worth offering the scale as a separate widget, though
