Content Histogram Template

Overview and Key Concepts​

This template creates a histogram. It shows the distribution of the flow (or bulk) content over time. The histogram has a separate bin for the completely empty and completely full states. At this moment, only a single object can be added to the flow histogram.

Chart Types​

This section describes the Histogram Template. The Content can be visualized using the following chart templates:

  • Bar chart (current value)
  • Histogram (distribution since start)
  • Table (current value)
  • Line chart (history vs. time)

The Options Tab​

The Options tab has the following properties:

  • Objects - Specifies the objects to include on the chart. See Adding Objects for more information. Note that the histogram template can currently only show the content of a single object. When you try to add more than one object, only the first object will be used.

The General Tab​

The General tab has the following properties:

  • Normalize Values - When this box is checked, the y axis of the graph will show the percentage of time for each bin. When it is not checked, model time spent in that bin is shown on the axis.
  • Number of Bars - The number of bars in the histogram. This does not include the empty and full bars, which will always be added in addition to the number of bars you specify.
  • Y Axis Title - The text shown next to the y axis.
  • X Axis Title - The text shown next to the x axis.
