Property Description
Separators Between Bars If checked, a separator line is drawn between each bar in the line colour. Otherwise, the bars run contiguously.
Fill Bar From Centre (Rectangular Bars) If checked, the bar is drawn from the centre. For example, consider a bar gauge with the minimum set to -2 and the maximum set to +2, with Fill From Centre checked. If the value of the input is -2, the bar will be filled from the midpoint (0) to the left hand side. If the input is 0, the bar will be unfilled. If the input is 2, the bar will be filled from the midpoint to the right hand side.
Display Value As Single Line (Rectangular Bars) If checked, then the bar will not be filled. instead a single line will move across the bar indicating the current value.
Square Mode (Rectangular Bars) If checked, then the bar will not have a chamfer at one end.
