Example:
See in the following picture an example of the online display (bars resp. lines) of a
histogram which represents an array arr1 [0..4] of INT. The arraybegin was set to "0",
the arrayend to "4", the scale start to "–4", the scale end to "24", the main graduation
was set to "2", the sub-graduation to "1" and the scale range 0 – 8 has got assigned
another color (dark grey) than the rest of the scale range. Furtheron the bars should be
displayed alarm-colored (blue) as soon as the value of the corresponding array
element exceeds "8". You see the array elements arr1[2] and arr1[3] currently being in
alarm state:
