Bars Widget - Minimum

 
The value of this attribute specifies the lower bound of the display for the values of either the single-bar VALUE attribute or the multiple-bars VALUES attribute. That is, when any single-bar value equals the value of MINIMUM,  the bar will reach the bottom or left (depending on the ORIENTATION) of the widget.
 
If the value is set MAXIMUM or becomes less than MINIMUM and AUTOSCALE, the BARS widget will automatically adjust MAXIMUM and/or MINIMUM to accommodate the new value. MINIMUM must be less than MAXIMUM.
 
The value of MINIMUM will be displayed with only one digit to the right of the decimal point. For example, if you set the value of MINIMUM to 123.4567, the display will show 123.5. If you set the value of MINIMUM to 0.0001375, the display will show 1.4E-4.
 
If you need to display numbers in a different way for your application, you can set the value of MINIMUM as a string. For example, if you want to display 0.000237 or 4.167E-4, set the value of MINIMUM to the string "0.000237" or"4.167E-4" in the ASSIGN or CONTROL statement.
