The orientation and position of the bar with respect to the scale can be adjusted within
the section "Bar" of the element properties.
Abb. 55 Example - Configuration within the section "Bar" of the element properties
In the example the orientation of the bar was changed from HORIZONTAL to VERTICAL.
This modification entails a switch of the possible entries for Running direction: instead
of LEFT_RIGHT and RIGHT_LEFT we now have to chose between BOTTOM_UP (for an
ascending scaling ) or TOP_DOWN (for descending scaling). The position of the bar in
respect to the scaling is specified by the Diagram type.
The section "Scale" is provided for defining the numeric range of the scale and
subdividing the scale by coarse and fine pitches.
Abb. 56 Example - Configuration within the section "Scale" of the element properties
The range of the scale is limited by the Scale start from below and by the Scale end
from above. Thus the start value has to be less than the end value. Both of the
distances in Main and Sub scale may be set to 0 for disabling the display of the scaling:
if the coarse scaling distance is set to 0 there will be no scaling displayed at all
(regardless the setting made for the sub scale). If the sub scale is set to 0, only the
coarse scale pitches will be drawn. As we want the bar display to be framed, we
activate the checkbox "Element frame".
