Market Analyzer window data columns can be formatted to display their data as values or as bar graph's.

A data column "Type" property is set to "Regular" by default which formats the column to display it's data as a value. You can toggle the column type between "Regular" and "BarGraph" via the Columns dialog window. When "BarGraph" is selected, the follow additional properties are available.

Bar graph growth type
Sets the style of growth for the bar graph.

LeftToRight - Will grow from left to right where the left most value is equal to the "Bar graph reference value"

RightToLeft - Will grow from right to left where the right most value is equal to the "Bar graph reference value"

Center - Will grow from the center out where the center line is equal to the "Bar graph reference value"

Bar graph reference value

Sets the value for the starting point of growing a bar graph. If  you have a LeftToRight bar graph with a reference value of zero, the bar graph will be displayed in a column cell once the cell's value is greater than zero.

Color for values < reference value

Sets the color of the bar graph when the cell value is greater than the reference value.

Color for values > reference value

Sets the color of the bar graph when the cell value is less than the reference value.

Max. bar graph display

Sets the maximum value of the bar graph. For example, if you have a LeftToRight bar graph with a reference value of zero, the left most value is zero (start of the cell) and the right most value (end of the cell) would be set to the maximum value.

The the following example will demonstrate a use case for a bar graph column to display the value of a 14 period ADX indicator.

After adding an ADX indicator data column:

1. Change the column type to "BarGraph"

2. Set the "Bar graph growth type" to "LeftToRight"

3. Set the "Bar graph reference value" to a value of "0"

4. Set the "Color for values > reference value" to "Lime"

5. Set the "Max. bar graph display" to a value of "100" since ADX indicator only returns a value from 0 to 100.

6. Press "OK"

The image below is the result. Since the ADX indicator is an indication of strength of trend, we can easily determine that the ZB 12-06 indicator has the strongest trend in relation to the other instruments in the Market Analyzer  window.
