VIDEO VBOX LITE MANUAL

Single Bar Graph

A Single Bar Graph is a rectilinear gauge with an expanding bar that can move either left-
right, right-left, bottom-top, or top-bottom along the scale.
Single Bar Graphs can be used to display any of the dynamically changing data available
in GPS or CAN being logged by the Video VBOX LITE such as Lateral Acceleration (GPS), Engine
Temp (CAN) etc.
There are two main components of a Single Bar Graph, the graph background and the bar graph itself.
These components have editable properties which allow the user to customise existing Bar Graphs or create entirely
new ones. These are accessed through the Element properties window and are as follows:
Single Bar Graph Creation
1: Starting a New Bar Graph
From the Menu bar select 'Elements'  'New', this produces a dropdown
menu listing the different types of Element it is possible to add to the Scene
e.g. Gauge, Image, Picture-In-Picture etc.
Background
The background of the Bar Graph determines what the graph looks like, it can be a Bitmap, JPEG or PNG file of a Bar
Graph face which has been supplied with the software or created by the user.
2: Loading a Background
To create a new Bar Graph, or change the background of an existing Bar
Graph, click the load button under the background properties.
Once the Bar Graph background has been selected the graph bar must then be positioned in the
correct place on the background and the parameters configured.

Selecting 'Single Bar Graph' will add a blank scratchpad to the Main View Window.
The Element Properties window will now reflect the properties of the Single Bar
Graph Element just created.
The expanding bar is automatically added to the blank scratchpad for the Bar Graph
when a new Bar Graph is added to the Scene.
These components have editable properties which allow the parameters of the Bar
Graph to be modified to suit the needs of the user.
