WzBar Overview

The WzBar Tool creates these kinds of bar charts:

Simple Bars

In this case, the values in a 1D array represent the bar heights.

Stacked or Grouped Bars

A 2D array can be used to produce stacked or grouped bars, where the first dimension represents the individual bars, and the second dimension represents the number of groups or stacks.

Stacked and Grouped Bars

A 3D array produces bars that are stacked and grouped, where the first dimension represents the number of bars, the second dimension represents the number of bars per group, and the third dimension represents the number of groups.

Data Types

The WzBar Tool is used to visualize relative trends 1D, 2D, or 3D data. You can create a bar chart from any 1D, 2D, or 3D variable of these types (maximum of 400 elements):

byte

float ( single or double-precision)

integer (or long integer)

note	Avoid using the PV‑WAVE DEVICE command at the WAVE> command line when VDA Tools are running.
