Bar Graph
The Bar Graph object represents values in an 8/16/32-bit register as a single bar chart whose
proportional length corresponds to the quantity in the register. A bar graph can be configured
to move in any direction (i.e. left to right, bottom to top, etc.) and monitor the target register as
a signed/unsigned integer, BCD, or floating-point value. You can also employ special effects
such as dynamic fill color or visibility.
